Among the presenters will be Helen Price Johnson, a former county commissioners, Island County Elections Manager Michele Reagen, Lou Bombard, Tony Cladusbid and others.

There will also be food trucks for hungry visitors. Greenbank Farm stories will give a 5% discount to anyone checking into the Democracy Fest with a “vote” sticker.
