Lobster Fest. Jesse Randall and Linda Seale take a moment to pose with crazy lobster headgear as Richard Seale waits in the background on the right. Jesse started the Lobster Festival at St. Francis by the Sea 11 years ago. Since then, he and his wife, Irish, have been moving forces behind this event. Linda helps Irish, in the kitchen and Richard helps Jesse as a cook. Ihanks to them and many other folks from Pine Knoll Shores, the Lobster Fest has been a major success. Last year, it was so suc cessful some people without tickets unfortunately could not get lobsters. Ihis year’s Lobster Fest is October 10 from noon to 4 p.m. lo be sure to get your lobsters, order by October 5 by calling 240-2388 (church office) or 354-5859 (Linda Davies) for tick ets—$25 for a dinner, $19 for cooked lobsters and $16 for a live one.

Pine Knoll Association and PIKSCO joined forces to post this warning sign to alert boaters to the possibility of swimmers, paddleboarders, kayakers, etc. who may be in the water just beyond their range of vision. Boaters are asked to practice caution and those in the water are reminded to stay alert as they enjoy our special brand of local recreation.—P/JO/O by Richard Seale Ihe Pine Knoll Shores Garden Club puts in many hours to beautify the town.
