OLD ORCHARD BEACH — For the first time in 30 years, the annual Lobster Dip has been postponed.
The event, which is typically held on Jan. 1, will be held this year on Jan. 13.
The Lobster Dip involves a dip into the ocean and is a fundraiser for Special Olympics Maine. Event organizers said after meeting with emergency responders and a medical team they made the decision to postpone the event due to predicted cold weather.
The Lobster Dip will still be held at noon Jan. 13 behind The Brunswick Hotel.
