St. Philip’s Church, 12 Hodge St., Wiscasset, invites craftspeople to join with the likes of hand-stenciled items, cat toys, or wood turned goods at its Strawberry Festival 72 on Saturday, June 27, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Festival committee is offering crafters the opportunity for a fee of $30 outside and $40 inside, to have a 10 x 10 space on the church grounds or in the hall designated for their use. Craftspeople should plan on bringing their own canopies to shield against the elements, as well as display materials and tables.

The main attraction, of course, is the time-honored strawberry shortcake assemblage: homemade biscuits, native berries, 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 work for you, fresh picked that morning.

The popular Bargain Basement with hidden gems to discover, a book table, a bake table, hot dog stand, and plant table will also be available for some shopping therapy. A children’s area with activities for the little ones will be open for their delight.

There will be a silent auction area, as well as the fun pie auction event at noon. Celebrity auctioneer "Big Al" Cohen will entice bidders to "go high." Remember, this is all in good fun and to raise funds in support of St. Philip’s and its outreach programs.

Troubadour Mat O’Donnell and keyboardist Terry Heller will provide music to soothe people as they wander, eat shortcake, munch on hot dogs and purchase this or that treasure.
