The second annual Merrill Lobsterfest sold more tickets and served more lobsters in the hopes of making a larger donation to the Tomahawk-Merrill Tavern League’s Safe Ride Home Program.
Last year’s inaugural event resulted in a $3,500 contribution to Safe Ride Home. Donations from local sponsors will help bolster that donation this year.
The staff of Ballyhoos, along with a host of volunteers, made the event run smoothly as the fresh Maine lobsters went from pot to plate. Representatives from local emergency response agencies volunteered as “crackers” to help diners dig in to their lobsters.
