Strawberry Festival

The 31st Annual Strawberry Festival will be held on Saturday, July 13th, 

from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM at the Lincolnville Community Building and the

United Christian Church (UCC) located at 18 Searsmont Road, Rt. 173 in

Lincolnville Center.

The event offers a full array of fun activities for the whole family. A

parade begins at 10:00 AM at Drake's Corner and features the Lincolnville

Band. Youngsters will gather at the Library to decorate their bikes and

wagons and together with clown "Miss Merry Berry, will join the parade

as it continues down Main St to the festival.

Musical entertainment will be provided by the Lincolnville Band and

Rosy Gerry and Friends, Corrine Gentry and Lise Becu.

Children's activities include outdoor games, face painting, and

photographs with Annie Sue and Cricket, everyone's favorite miniature

horses from Moose Ridge Farm.

The main attraction is homemade strawberry shortcake with whipped cream!

Jams and other strawberry goodies, including ice cream sandwiches, and

baked goods will be for sale. Raffle tickets will be sold for seven

baskets with the winners drawn at noon.

History buffs will have a chance to have a guided tour of the church

which was built as the town meetinghouse in 1821. It has the original

boxed pews, upper pulpit, balcony, and flow glass windows.

The Strawberry Festival is sponsored by the United Christian Church

(UCC), an open and affirming community church. Proceeds from the

festival support the ongoing ministries of the church and the

maintenance of the historic Meeting House and the 60 year old Community

Building.

Bring a lawn chair and plan to spend the day visiting with friends and

enjoying the good food and entertainment. All are welcome!
