During the banquet at the July 9th state convention in Holland, the Libertarian Party of Michigan (LPM) will host its annual Defender of Liberty Awards. Michigan Libertarians also call the event “LibertyFest” and the awards “Libbies”. Moreover, the Defender of Liberty Awards are given to those people, Libertarian or otherwise, who have made notable personal efforts in the defense of liberty. There are three main categories of awards.
