PRESQUE ISLE — Dan Lee of Presque Isle was the winner of 25 pounds of lobster at the Aroostook County Republican Committee lobster draw held Thursday, Aug. 30.

Other winners at the drawing were Mary Richards of Mars Hill who won 15 pounds of live lobsters, and Georgia Dicker of Presque Isle who won 10 pounds.

The activity for a total of 50 pounds of live lobster was a fund-raiser conducted throughout Aroostook County. Profits from the activity will be used to support the Aroostook County candidates in their campaigns for election in November.
