To the Editor:

On behalf of this year’s LobsterFest Committee — myself, Ryan Clark, Matt Dobson, George Lockwood, Jr, and Jeff Thomas — and the officers and members of Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Co, we would like to thank our family, friends, fellow firefighters, residents of Newtown, and out-of-town guests for helping to make our 33rd LobsterFest on Friday and Saturday, June 10 and 11, a success. We served over 1,900 lobsters and 650 pounds of steak that weekend.

It was good to see so many people — family, friends and supporters — after the two-year break caused by the pandemic.

We would like to thank some of our neighbors for the use of part of their property for parking and all of our neighbors for putting up with the noise.

We also need to thank our fellow volunteer firefighters from surrounding fire departments — Botsford, Hawleyville, Dodgingtown, Newtown Hook & Ladder, Naugatuck Fire Police, Southbury, Easton, Monroe, Stepney, and Stevenson — and anyone else who offered their support this year.

In addition, we would like to thank Associated Refuse, JP Maguire, and LRM for their donations.

We have so many people to thank, and we are sorry if we missed anyone.

Thank you for the continued support of Sandy Hook Fire & Rescue. Mark your calendars for the 34th LobsterFest — June 9 and 10, 2023.

Sincerely,

Anthony Capozziello, LobsterFest Chairman

Sandy Hook
