The Rotary Club of Coquitlam put on another fantastic Lobster Festival at the All Saints Hall in Coquitlam on Oct. 27. The annual event was sold out and featured maritime-themed activities such as “kissing the cod” and “getting screeched in,” as well as live music and a performance by a ventriloquist.
