Lobsterfest 2007 to be held July 22
NORWICH – Lobster – with a side of politics – will be served up at the Chenango Republican Committee’s fundraiser of the year. The 2007 Lobersterfest is set for noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 22 at the Canasawacta Country Club.
For over 30 years, Lobsterfest has been a tradition in Chenango County, and for the last 12 years, the republican committee has been sponsoring the event.
“Lobsterfest is the most non-political, political event in the county,” Committee Chairman Thomas Morrone said, explaining that politicians from both sides of the aisle usually attend the event. According to Morrone, already committed to attending the event are Senator Thomas Libous, Senator James Seward, Assemblyman Clifford Crouch, Assemblyman Gary Finch and Assemblyman Peter Lopez. Several other elected officials have been invited and are likely to be at the event.
“A lot of people come to support the republican committee, but it’s also a good opportunity to meet with your legislators and talk on a casual basis,” Morrone said. “We don’t do solicitations and we don’t do other fund raisers.” Between 500 and 600 people from several different counties, including Broome, Tioga, Cortland and Otsego, are expected to attend the event.
Morrone expects a lot of discussion to be centered on the topic of NYRI’s plan to build a 200-mile-long, 400,000 volt transmission line through eight upstate counties, including 44 miles of Chenango. “I think that’s the number one topic on everyone’s mind. It’s probably the main issue in Chenango County,” he said.
A golf outing will be held prior to Lobsterfest. Tee time will be at 8 a.m. on July 22. Anyone interested in participating should contact the Canasawacta Country Club’s Pro-Shop at 336-2685 for more information.
Tickets to Lobsterfest may be obtained at Christman Motors, 334-3234, or at Chiarino Insurance, 337-2886.
“It’s a nice event, because people can come and go as they please. You get to enjoy the fine food of the country club, and every ticket gets a free lobster,” Morrone explained.
