2010 STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL
The annual Strawberry Festival was held May 19 in our Fellowship
Hall. This Strawberry Festival has happened more than 50 years
at our church. Proceeds from the festival are used
to stock our kitchen with needed paper products, coffee,
utensils, etc. for the entire year
To the right Barb Harris and Marilyn Telander collect and sell
tickets. |

Brian Telander (at left) sells whole cakes, and various sizes of
strawberry and strawberry rhubarb jam. He also sells raffle
tickets for center pieces and very large jars of jam. |

Slices of cake are lined up and ready to be selected by hungry
customers. Cakes are provided by members of the church. |
 |
 |
Carolyn Hobbs and Shirley Hoepker sell chocolate covered
strawberries and chocolate stuffed strawberries. YUM! |

Each customer enjoyed a delicious strawberry sundae, a generous
slice of cake and the drink of their choice. The youth of
the church, as well as adults served as waiters. |
