sarahgutch noted : May 5th is Lobster Race and Oyster Parade Day
At one time I was part of a group looking into the possibility of starting an event or two that would bring visitors and locals to an event and make a few bucks for the local merchants and help with the downtown revitalization.
(I was one of two newspeople there for the publicity aspects.)
We got pretty excited when one guy suggested a Lobster Race! That is until I checked with the local Fish and Game officer ... seems lobsters can move only when in water! That ended that.

Aloha, wow
