A butterfly pork cop sandwich is served from 11 AM to 1 PM and from 4PM to 8 PM. There will also be a mini-auction at 6 PM.
This interesting event features many things related to strawberries�pies and jam and strawberry contests.


It also includes other interesting diversions:
  • For lovers of old machinery, there will be a car show, an antique tractor show
  • A motorcycle showrodeo, that everyone loved watching last year
  • A stage full of live entertainment

The red strawberries will mix well with the bluegrass music.
