Tuesday, 16 July 2019

Thank you to all the great volunteers that made the Lobster Bash happen, the huge crowds of people that came to the Bash, the sponsors that supported the Bash, all the businesses that supplied services during the Bash, the Town of Digby Works Department, those that supplied boats and other various items used during the Bash, and the guys on the Board of Directors, who work twelve months of the year to bring the Lobster Bash to the community. Every person involved with the Lobster Bash deserves a huge "Thank You".
Richard Gaudet, co-founder of the Lobster Bash, and Paul Aucoin, former Director, would both be very proud to see how the Lobster Bash has evolved into a great community event that celebrates the lobster industry in Sou'West Nova. We sure do miss you guys.
