The Town of Lisbon has announced that Julie-Ann Baumer will serve as the 2019 Moxie Festival Coordinator. For this festival, administration will fall under the Parks & Recreation Department instead of the Economic & Community Development Department. “We are excited to have Julie-Ann working spearheading the festival and working with the Moxie Committee and our staff,” said Mark Stevens, director of Parks & Recreation. Baumer will take over the planning of the festival from Tracey Steuber, who coordinated the festival since 2014 while also working full-time as the town’s Economic & Community Development director. “Being part of the Moxie Festival in 2013 was what encouraged me to move home after living away for a number of years,” Baumer said. “Working closely with Tracey Steuber and Gina Mason helped me better understand how things work in this small town I love so much….” Baumer is an insurance analyst by profession. She is also a freelance writer and blogger. She is on the board of directors for the Gendron Franco Center as well as their volunteer coordinator. She has been on the Moxie Festival Committee since 2013.
