Annual Lobster Fest
-L
By Phyllis Makuck
The 12th annual Lobster Fest will take place at St. Francis by the Sea Episcopal
Church in Indian Beach, 920 Salter Path Road, on Saturday, October 8, from 12 to
4 p.m. As in past years, it will be a great excuse for a dinner party with family and
friends, either at home or at the church.
Live lobsters are delivered to the church directly from Maine. On-site cooks
prepare them to go and for meals served at the church. A new cooker has helped
speed up the process, allowing several containers of lobsters to cook at a time.
A complete lobster dinner, including potato salad, coleslaw and homemade
dessert, is $25. Add a cooked lobster to an eat-in dinner or take cooked lobsters
home for $21 each. If you are feeling more adventuresome, you can get live lobsters
for $19 each and cook them at home. The lobsters are large, approximately IVi lbs.
each, and exceptionally good.
The best way to ensure you will get one is to purchase tickets in advance by
October 1. Last year, as in past years, the church sold out, so it is risky not to purchase
tickets before the event. If you are picking up take-out orders, it is best to arrive before
3 p.m. Special delivery is available upon request for orders of 10 or more.
You may get tickets from a parishioner or by calling the church office at 240-
2388 or Linda Davies at 354-5859. Those who bought tickets in the past will receive
order forms in the mail.

Antiques and Collectibles Club
By Beth La Brie
The Carteret County Antiques and Collectibles Club is a group of men and
women from Carteret, Craven and Onslow counties who are interested in antiques.
The 2016-17 year begins on September 21 with a program by Mark Golitz of BluSail
Golitz Studios in Morehead City. He will speak about how to choose a good pot,
taking into consideration color, shape, size and uniqueness.
The club meets the third Wednesday of each month, September to May, at
Clawsons .1905 Restaurant in Beaufort at 11:30 a.m. for a Dutch-treat lunch,
followed by the program and business meeting. We usually take a trip once a year.
Reservations are not needed, and visitors are always welcome. Please join us.
