CHESTER THE LOBSTER IS BACK

Chester Lobsterman Blaine Bond shows off his largest catch of the year.


Chester The Lobster,actually Miss Chester The Lobster that is, is just a little bit lighter than last year's participant in our little event. We estimate around 7 lbs. Blaine will be weighing the crustacean shortly.


Jan. 19'th,Chester-------------------Here we go again folks. It is time for a little fun with what has become an annual event here at chesterns.ca. It is a little later this year due to weather and fisherman's luck. Before we continue,we must thank local Fisherman and Aquaculturalist Blaine Bond for coming up with the idea 2 years ago. Our regulars may recall the details but we will give you the dope again as to how our LOBSTER AUCTION works.

This is an online event only. You may bid on the lobster as often as you wish. The highest bid wins. The lobster and the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the charity of the winning bidder's choice.
Individuals,groups,teams and businesses are welcome to bid.

Last year Chester was set free at Freda's Beach. We at chesterns.ca and many of our followers hope that this will be a tradition and the beginnings of a small yearly event or festival in the Village of Chester. On Sat. Jan. 30'th we will hold "The Release Party" at Freda's beach with a bonfire and refreshments. Last year we had over 40 people on a week day. If you want some fun and a day at the beach in January come out for the Beach Party and see a real live lobster up close.
