Strawberry Festival—YUM!

Stanardsville United Methodist Church hosts its 20th Annual Strawberry Festival on Saturday, June 5 in Greene County. Enjoy the bounty of one of nature’s sweetest fruits from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The famous Strawberry Breakfast will be served from 7 to 11 a.m. and costs $7 for adults and $4 for children 8 and under. Lunch will be from 11 a.m. onwards and is $4 for a hamburger or hotdog, chips and a drink.

But don’t forget the red, juicy fruit that’s bringing you out: that’s right, the strawberry! There will be strawberry desserts—strawberry crepes and strawberry shortcake—for $3 and strawberry slushies for $1. Want more strawberry goodness? Come early for a whole strawberry cake at $20 or strawberry pie at $6!

More Than Strawberries
But, there will be more than good eats at the family friendly event. Entertainment includes the Hi-Horse Cloggers, the Cloverleaf Square Dancers, The Greater Love, a gospel group, Stacey Roach, bluegrass and gospel, and The Deanes, bluegrass and gospel from Greene County, as well as Gary Shifflett & The Shenandoah Shakers.
Additionally, there will be crafters, vintage cars and fun and games for children on Historic Court Square in downtown Stanardsville. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy a wonderful event (and wonderful berry) in Greene County! All proceeds from the event go to Stanardsville United Methodist Church’s local missions.
