To the Editor:

On behalf of this year's LobsterFest Committee - myself, Mike Burton, Ryan Capozziello, Ryan Clark, Matt Dobson, George Lockwood, Jr and Karl Sieling Jr - and the officers and members of Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue Co., we would like to thank our family, friends, fellow firefighters, residents of Newtown and out-of-town guests for helping to make our 29th annual LobsterFest on Friday and Saturday, June 10 and 11, a success. We served over 1,800 lobsters and 700 pounds of steak last weekend.

We would like to thank some of our neighbors for the use of part of their property for parking, and all of our neighbors for putting up with the noise.

We need to thank our fellow volunteer firefighters from Newtown Hook & Ladder, Dodgingtown, Southbury, Easton, Monroe, Stepney, and Stevenson, and anyone else who offered their support this year.

In addition, we would like to thank Associated Refuse, JP Maguire, LRM and Newtown Color Center for their donations. A thank you goes out to the Town of Newtown, Oxford, Watertown, Ridgefield and Danbury for allowing us to borrow portable lights.

We have so many people to thank and we are sorry if we missed anyone.

Thank you for the continued support of Sandy Hook Fire & Rescue. Mark your calendars for the 30th annual event on June 9 and 10, 2017.

Sincerely,

Anthony Capozziello

LobsterFest Chairman
