Lobster update
Grace Church Lobster Rolls return for another busy summer season on Friday, May 3. Although they will be as tasty and plump as ever, the rolls have a new $17 price tag.
The church’s Lobster Roll Committee has worked to keep prices as low as possible and members deliberated long and hard before regretfully making the change.
“The price of lobster rolls is going up because the cost of our materials is going up,” explained committee member Lorraine Clark. “But we guarantee that our rolls are still the best there is and the best you can get.”
Along with lobster rolls served with chips and beverage, assorted pies and hotdogs are available. Hours are 4 to 7:30 pm every Friday. For more information, call 508-693-0332.

ITW presents…
