Strawberry Festival – June 19, 2010
On Saturday June 19th, from 11:00AM to 3:00PM the historic Litchfield Presbyterian Church will once again partner with the Litchfield Historical Society to celebrate family, friends and the beginning of summer with the third annual old-fashioned Strawberry Festival. The Strawberry Festival brings back memories of bygone days when rural communities often gathered to celebrate the seasons and share their bounty. The Strawberry Festival proudly features delicious homemade strawberry shortcake made with McQuesten Farm’s Litchfield-grown strawberries. You can also enjoy our famous sausage grinders, hotdogs, soft drinks, and amazing baked goods. Dine in the shade of an old maple tree or at a picnic table on the banks of the beautiful Merrimack River. There will be craft tables, raffle tickets, and more.
The Historical Society’s old town hall building will be open from 12:00 to 3:00 PM. You can tour the museum and see the many interesting local antiques and artifacts.
Throughout the afternoon, Historical Society president Dr. Steven Calawa will be offering guided tours of the historic church building where many interesting artifacts and antiques will be on display.
