In 1969, arose an idea out of Christ Church to bring a New England fair to the Nevada desert. The Lobster Fair transforms the church's Hunt Memorial Patio into an atmosphere of the Maine seashore with a small sailboat and nets on the fountain. Attendees enjoy continuous live entertainment, kid's activities, market, a silent auction, raffles,  and a variety of homemade food that includes clam chowder, seafood gumbo, shrimp ceviche, turkey dinner, and Hispanic food. This is a family event that features activities and entertainment for all ages. Live and steamed lobster are available for sale before and during the fair.
