Crafters sought for Strawberry Festival

Tue, 03/28/2023 - 7:45am

St. Philip’s Church, 12 Hodge St., Wiscasset, invites craftspeople to be part of its family-friendly, old-fashioned Strawberry Festival No. 69 on Saturday, June 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. As the Festival will be primarily outdoors, crafters can, for $25, have a 10’ x 10’ space on the church grounds designated for their use. Craftspeople should plan on bringing their own canopy and display materials.

The main attraction, of course, is the time-honored strawberry shortcake assemblage: Homemade biscuit, native berries, and real whipped cream or locally made ice cream. As in years past, there will also be fresh-picked quarts of berries for sale; let St. Philip’s people do the picking for you. The Bargain Basement with loads of amazing deals, as well as an antique table, a hot dog stand, a bake table, and a plant table will be available for some shopping therapy. A children’s area with games and activities for the little ones will be open for their delight.

For more information or to request an application, please call St. Philip’s at 882-7184, leaving a brief message and a call-back number. Or visit https://stphilipswiscasset.org and message the Strawberry Festival committee.
