Craftspeople: St. Philip’s Church, 12 Hodge St., Wiscasset, will be holding its 66th annual Strawberry Festival on Saturday, June 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  Both inside and outside spaces are available.  For the few inside spaces, the charge is $35, while an outside space is a bargain at $25. Crafters are responsible for their own tables and awnings.  Electrical outlets are available for both inside and outside spaces.

Viewed by many, both locals and visitors, as an area institution not to be missed, the St. Philip’s Strawberry Festival is on many people’s summer schedule. The hot dog stand, Bargain Basement goodies, bake table, noontime pie auction, and other elements people look forward to will be there as always.

The star of the event is, of course,  the very generous helping of luscious native strawberries dished up on a big, beautiful homemade biscuit and topped off with either locally made ice cream or piles of real whipped cream.

Fresh quarts of strawberries will be available for purchase. The St. Philip’s pickers will do the picking for you. No kneeling, bending, or juice stained knees, just line up with cash in hand to scoop the beauties up and take them away for home consumption.

To reserve a space, craftspeople should call St. Philip’s at 882-7184. Leave name, address, and phone number where to be reached for Gretchen Johnson, crafts coordinator.
