July 2021 Lobster Chowdah Thank You party

July 2021 Preparing for the Lobster Chowdah Thank You party for our major donors. Seafood flown in from Maine from Mclauglin’s Seafood located in my birthplace of Bangor, Maine. https://mclaughlinseafood.com/
Great Thanks to Deb and Natalie. It took us almost 4 hours to shuck, pick and chop. You can do the math… I would have been sitting there for 12 hours! They look a little intimidated by the crustaceans!
