Sunday May 11th Noon – 6pm Luscious Lobster for a Decadent Mother’s Day

Mom deserves the BEST. Treat her to an indulgent, delicious, day of luscious LOBSTER by our friends from Rebel Lobster. Top it off with a root beer float or hard cider slushie for dessert. We hope the apple orchards will be in bloom, but that’s completely up to Mother Nature. But she is probably going to be busy celebrating Mother’s day too. Always fun for the whole family including the dog!
