One of the tastiest events hosted yearly by the Dauphin Rotary Club is their annual Lobsterfest celebration.

After being held in larger venues such as the Selo Hall and Rotary Arena, the event was held this past June at Obsolete Brewing Company.

Co-organizer Kara Vanderheyden says having it in a more intimate setting had its positives.

"I think it was nicer having people in closer quarters in a sense that it really encouraged more community within our attendees with more people getting to know each other and getting to know people that they had not met before.  It also allowed us to offer different foods as well."

Organizers collaborated with Dusty's Meat Shop to offer other meat options during this year's Lobsterfest.

Fellow organizer Lindsay Dingwall says the event is more than just great food. 

"We have a 50/50, and a raffle with items donated by community members.  And then there is entertainment.  We had Kates Outlaw perform (this past year) and they were fabulous, and we were grateful to have them."

Preparations for the 2025 edition of Lobsterfest will begin early in the new year.
