Strawberry Festival

We attended the Strawberry Festival in South Berwick, ME on Saturday. The festival was celebrating its 35th year.

The festival is always the last Saturday of June and runs for one day only. I was actually surprised that it wasn't a two day event with longer hours. The festival begins at 9:00am and ends at 4:00pm.

We didn't arrive until 2:00pm as we waited until after the kids had napped and had lunch. The first thing we noticed when we arrived was the aroma of the BBQ chicken they had going on the grills. We also spotted the huge strawberry shortcake which should be huge at $4 per slice. Since it was after we had lunch we didn't eat anything, however, we'll know next year to go for lunch!

The festival was full of firsts for Zac. He had his first pony ride on Cupcake a 21 year old pony and went in his first bounce house. Zac seemed to love the pony but was a little slower to get the hang of jumping in a bounce house. Once he did get the hang of it he wanted to stay and it was a bit difficult to get him to come out!

The Strawberry Festival was a lot and if still in the area we'll return next year. We will plan to go earlier in the day as they break it down at 4:00pm sharp.

The weather was glorious again this weekend. We had another wonderful weekend full of family time and fun!
