Strawberry Shortcake Festival

Thursday, June 11th from 11:30am to 4:00pm

The Third Congregational Church on 94 Miner Street in Middletown, CT is holding its annual Strawberry Shortcake Festival, tomorrow, Thursday, June 11th from 11:30am to 4:00pm.

This festival has been going on for over 120 years.. yes, you heard me correctly 120 years. People in the area look forward to this event every year. The strawberries are native to the area and picked fresh. Now picture this on top of a homemade biscuit, and REAL HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM. My mouth is salvating already.

If you haven't been by, tomorrow is your opportunity to partake.. and I bet you'll be hooked for next year. I'm thinking of going twice once around noon and again when my sons get out of school.

The cost is $6.50 for a large, and $4.50 for a small. These are a meal unto themselves... so come for lunch.

If you have no time to sit down and enjoy here at the church.. THERE IS ALWAYS TAKE OUT. Need I say more?

George.. don't stay away then. Go enjoy. Just get the small one, and share with your wife. This way you only have half the guilt. :)

Kenneth.. I know they have take out... maybe they have some sort of delivery plan.. if not, I think they should think about that one.

Steve... How are your strawberries this year? I'm finding it hard to get any picked fresh around here. There has been too much rain, and not enough sun. You know what this means? I'll be going to get a strawberry shortcake this afternoon... right after I go to the YMCA to work out. Burn off calories.. add more. Hey, at least I'm staying at the same weight.

Jun 11, 2009 04:21 AM

Donna... I have a thought.. why not drive by and get some to take out? You two could even share one. If you go later on this afternoon, I might even see you there. Wouldn't that be a hoot. It takes a strawberry shortcake to get us to finally meet.

Jun 11, 2009 04:23 AM

Ed.. Waterbury isn't that far.. maybe if you call them, they'll deliver? This way you won't miss out.

Kara... When I went back to get some information on how things went, I found out that they made 1,400 biscuits.. and 1000 quarts of strawberries that were hulled, and prepared. The total quarts of strawberries that were ready to serve were 800. WOW!!!!
