The Rotary Club of Estevan has announced the postponement of its annual lobsterfest fundraiser.
In a post on its Facebook page Monday morning, the club said it made the decision after careful consideration, and in light of the ongoing COVID-19 developments. Lobsterfest had been scheduled for mid-June at Affinity Place.
Also delayed is the club’s annual highway cleanup operation that traditionally happens on Highway 47 south in the spring.
“Rescheduling these community events will enable us to provide the experience that our club and community members deserve – a safe environment,” the club said.
Rotary remains optimistic about the possibility of hosting similar events later this year and will get back to people with more information on specific dates once restrictions have been lifted and it is safe to host these functions.
Lobsterfest is the club’s largest annual fundraiser. It has grown to attract approximately 800 people each year. They fill Affinity Place to enjoy a fresh, whole Atlantic lobster and a steak.
