Yes, so far this week in Northern California has been filled with rain, wind, and snow, but that hasn’t deterred the strawberry plants in my garden from setting fruit. Yes, they’re still small and tart, but they hold the promise of sweet plumpness (if the birds and the bugs don’t get to them first!)
So with that in mind, it’s time to start thinking about the 19th Annual Strawberry Festival hosted by the Florin Historical Society. The event celebrates the spring strawberry harvest dating back to 1875 when Florin was the "Strawberry Capital of the World".
This year's yummy event will be on Saturday, June 11th, from 11 am to 3 pm, at the Old Florin Town Park behind the Promised Lodge (7145 McComber Street at Florin Road, Sacramento). And hopefully Mother Nature will cooperate with great weather and tasty strawberries!
Strawberries & ice cream will be $3 a bowl all day and raffle tickets will be $1 a ticket, or 6 tickets for $5.
The Florin Historical Society is asking for your help to make this event a success. If you can volunteer, donate raffle prizes, or if you're interested in having a booth as a food vendor or crafter, please contact them by telephone at 916-383-6392, by email at fhs111875@yahoo.com, or by mail at 7145 McComber Street, Florin, CA 95828.
