The Port Stanley Lions Club – supported by the Port Stanley Lioness Lions Club – raised $10,000 for the Hospice of Elgin on Saturday, June 25, 2022, as 500 people enjoyed a Lobsterfest meal provided by Steelhead Food Co., of St. Thomas, during a successful fundraiser held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 410.

The Smokin’ Bass Band provided a rousing performance throughout Lobsterfest.
