The Battlefords Humane Society has come up with another fundraiser as it works toward caring for all the animals in its shelter.
Lobster lovers have until May 20 to place their order for pre-cooked, flash frozen crustaceans direct from Prince Edward Island.
Each lobster will cost $15 and will weigh approximately one and a quarter pounds.
Organizers expect the lobsters will be delivered on a Friday in early June, according to availability. They will be making an announcement when they know the date and the plan is to distribute the lobsters at the north end of the Sobeys parking lot, starting around 4:30 p.m. to about 6 p.m.
They do warn, however, that if the lobsters are not picked up on time on the designated date, they will be re-sold on a first-come-first-served basis.
"We will not be responsible for leftovers as we have no freezer space to keep them," they caution.
For more information call Heather Hall at 306-441-9477 or the shelter at 306-937-MEOW (6369).
Proceeds from the sale of lobsters will go toward the operation of the Battlefords Humane Society.
The group is also looking forward to replacing the building located on 114th Street in North Battleford. The current facility is 27 years old and falls far short of current needs.
About $400,000 has been put aside for the new building, and another $1.5 to $2 million still needs to be raised.
