ROCKLAND, Maine — The story of a 101-year-old Mainer still working hard in the lobster industry went viral in 2021. Now, at 102, she's set to be part of the Maine Lobster Festival Big Parade in Rockland this year.
A news release from the Maine Lobster Festival stated Virginia Oliver, the famed "Lobster Lady," will be escorted in the parade by the Owls Head Transportation Museum on Aug. 6 at 10 a.m.
The parade will take place on Main Street and is one of the largest in the Pine Tree State.
Oliver's story went viral after NEWS CENTER Maine reported on it in 2021. Read more about her life and career here.
