LOBSTER SUPPER FUNDRAISER FOR SANDISFIELD’S 250TH


SANDISFIELD – On Saturday, August 28, the Town of Sandisfield’s 250th Birthday Committee will host its first fundraiser -- a lobster supper at the American Legion Pavilion on Route 8 in Sandisfield. Proceeds from the supper will help fund the town’s 250th celebration weekend in July 2012. The cost of the meal, which includes lobster (or ribs), corn on the cob, salad, coffee and dessert, is $25 per person. Steamers will be available for an extra $5 and a children’s hotdog meal will be offered for $8. Reservations are required for the two seatings at 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Call (413) 258-4688 or 413 258-4816 to reserve or obtain more information.

Other celebratory activities include a comprehensive history book edited by Bernard Drew, a community cookbook organized by the Sandisfield Historical Society, and a town-wide celebration weekend in the summer of 2012 featuring a parade, dance, and tractor pull, among other events.
