This weekend is the Plainfield Spring Fest, starting this Friday May 15th and running through Sunday May 17th. 

I saw a sign as I was driving through the downtown area this weekend with the dates and times:

Friday May 15th from 4:00 -midnight
Saturday May 16th from 10:00-midnight
Sunday May 17th from 12:00- 6:00 pm

Now don’t quote me on the times I’ve posted here… I was driving at the time, but I’m pretty sure this is what I stored in my brain from my photographic memory!

There will be a carnival, a craft show, food vendors, a beer garden, and live entertainment.  One of my favorite booths had always been the fresh strawberry shortcake stand, but I haven’t seen it there for the past 3 years.  I remember when we first moved to Plainfield that this Spring Fest was once called the Plainfield Strawberry Festival.  I wonder why they changed the name, and where did those delicious strawberry shortcakes go? 

Here is the schedule of events for the 2009 Plainfield IL Spring Fest:
