Strawberry Fest in Chassel
Some of the best strawberries in the world are being served up in Chassell this weekend.
It’s all about the berries at the Chassell Strawberry Festival. They’ve been serving up delicious Strawberry Shortcake all day, but the two-day event is just getting started.
The warm spring put this year’s crop in jeopardy – but quick action by one local strawberry farmer saved the festival.
One of the highlights of the first day is the crowning of the Strawberry Festival Queen. The new queen, along with the local citizens of the year and the results from the judging of the strawberries, will be announced this evening.
Tomorrow’s main event is the Strawberry Festival parade. And, of course, more strawberries.
