It's time to don those bibs and melt some butter. Saturday is Lobstermania at Dorothy Lane Market.

An annual tradition in the Miami Valley, DLM began bringing live lobsters in from Maine 40 years ago. Many families make the yearly pilgrimage to buy the seafood to serve at Memorial Day gatherings.

Captain Curt Brown from Ready Seafood, the Maine company that catches the lobsters, and some of his crew will be at the event answering questions and talking about lobstering sustainability.

Lobstermania sales start at 9 a.m. at the Oakwood, Washington Township and Springboro stores. It’s a good idea to arrive early because once the lobsters are gone, they are gone. DLM will have 3,000 lobsters to sell for $15 each.

Munch on lobster rolls and herb cheddar biscuit samples while you wait.
