Thank you for your interest in participating in the 24th Annual Lobster Landing
Crustacean Celebration!
2011 Lobster Landing Restaurant
Commitment Agreement
Child & Family Resources is inviting local restaurants to participate in the 24th Annual Lobster Landing!
Child & Family Resources is headquartered in Tucson with offices in Bullhead City, Douglas, Kingman, Nogales, Phoenix, Safford, Sierra Vista, Willcox, and Yuma. Each year, CFR serves 38,000 clients across the state to build resilient children and families, ensure excellent childcare and education, and build communities that value children and families.
Lobster Landing Tucson's largest Crustacean Celebration! We fly in 2,000 live Maine Lobsters and host a festival complete with entertainment, beer & wine tasting, a retail store, Kids’ Korner, lobster pick-up, and more! Lobster Landing also features the Lobster Lover Fleet, some of Tucson’s finest restaurants preparing food samples. Each restaurant will be provided a table in the outside area and will be responsible for decorating their booth and providing signage and/or literature.
This year we are adding a new element! Restaurants that are part of the Lobster Lover Fleet will compete against each other for the most innovative and delicious dish, as voted by the customers. The winner will receive additional promotion and the soon-to-be coveted 2011 Lobster Landing Admiral Award.
The 24th Annual Lobster Landing is scheduled for November 12, 2011 at Plaza Palomino. Dress for the event is casual. Crustacean Celebration Tickets are $40 each. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.
