This year’s event will take place on Saturday, June 14, from noon to 3 pm rain or shine.

In addition to plenty of strawberry-based desserts, sweets and snacks, there will be live music, Vanila Swirl the Clown, face painting, children’s activities, free blood pressure screenings, and visits with members of Southbury Ambulance volunteers.
