WISCASSET — St. Philip’s Episcopal Church is gearing up for its 61st annual Strawberry Festival.
The celebration of all things strawberry runs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, and is considered by locals to be the unofficial start to summer in Wiscasset.
Lou the Magician will be performing a show at 11 a.m. and then wander the fair making his perky balloon animals for children.
At noon there will be a pie auction. Many luscious homemade pies of all types will be auctioned off to support the church’s various programs.
A children’s area, silent auction, plant sale, hot dog stand, lunchroom, and knitand stitch table — not to mention the ever-popular Bargain Basement — will round out the plan for the day.
To add to the festive atmosphere, there will be craftspeople displaying their wares.
For more information, call the church at 882-7184.
