Westport Rotary's Lobsterfest a “Smashing Success” Once Again

The 2021 Rotary Lobsterfest, arguably Westport's biggest party of the year, was held Saturday at Compo Beach on a beautiful September afternoon under sunny blue skies.

The event, which sold out completely once again for it's 10th year and was limited only by it's attendance permit and how many lobsters could be cooked per hour. They served 2,400 lobsters, 330 steaks and 325 children's dinners. Fresh clams and oysters on the half shell were offered by Norwalk's Copp's Island Oysters.

A small army of volunteers, including town officials and those aspiring to become town officials, kept the beer and wine flowing and tables cleared. Families enjoyed great entertainment for their children, and craft spirits for the adults. Live music kept dancers on their feet. All and all, another lively and successful event for the community by the the Westport Rotary - which raised more that $100,000 (final figures not yet available) for their programs and charities.

Night Time Scenes

Mother Nature gave us a beautiful show Saturday night, with a stunning sunset enjoyed by Saugatuck boaters and a brilliant, nearly full moon illuminating drifting clouds. Lights from the Whelk and Saugatuck Sweets were reflected in Saugatuck River's west bank.
