ESTEVAN — The Rotary Club of Estevan served 730 people during its annual Lobsterfest on Friday, with most people enjoying both freshly-cooked, delicious lobsters and large, juicy grilled steaks.
This year marked the return to the pre-pandemic scale for the biggest fundraiser of the year for local Rotarians.
For the night, they also made 1,460 cups of melted butter, 800 portions of salad, baked potatoes and dinner rolls to finish up the delicious supper.
Outside ticket sales, the club had a silent auction and a 50/50 draw, which raised almost $2,000 for each of the club and one lucky winner. All money collected through the event will be used for community needs.
Theresa Williams, a Rotarian who was in charge of decorations this year, painted four big murals to add to the Lobsterfest atmosphere at Affinity Place.
The club called the event a "huge success".
"On behalf of the Rotary Club of Estevan, thank you to our community for coming out to support our club once again. We are beyond grateful for the support we receive each and every year," Rotary said on its Facebook page after the event.
