Strawberry Shortcake Festival
(and craft sale)
Thursday, June 9th, 2011 from 11:30am to 4:30pm (Approx)
The Third Congregational Church on 94 Miner Street in Middletown, CT is holding its annual Strawberry Shortcake Festival, tomorrow, Thursday, June 9th from 11:30am to 4:30pm.
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.
Even the biscuits for this heavenly dessert are made from scratch. Guess what is on top of fresh strawberries and homemade biscuits.. what tastes better... you got it REAL HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM. My mouth is salvating already.
If you haven't been by, tomorrow is your opportunity to do so.. and I bet you'll be hooked for next year. This year I have volunteered to help out.. I will be there from 9:00am on. So if you are in the area.. stop by, say *HI* and have a strawberry shortcake at the same time. The cost is $6.50 for a large, and $4.50 for a small (coffee or tea included). This is the same price for the last three years.. that I know of, or should I say I've been going to.
As a heads up.. these are so large that they are a meal unto themselves.. so come with an appetite.
If you have no time to sit down and enjoy here at the church.. THERE IS ALWAYS TAKE OUT. Call 860.632.1486 on the day of the sale only. This way you can bring home a wonderful dessert for everyone in the family. LOL. Or you could say you are bringing it home for the family and have it for a few days yourself. :)
Need I say more?
Now that your mouth is watering.. I don't see how it can't be at this point. I'll see you there tomorrow.
