Wild About Strawberries

StrawberryFestival_062216D

The annual strawberry festival returned to the Massapequa Historical StrawberryFestival_062216AComplex on June 18, and brought with it plenty of sweet strawberries, just in time for summer. The Banjo Rascals were back to serenade visitors, who toured the grounds with strawberry shortcake and fresh jam from Auntie Grace and the Marmaladies. For those who wanted a history lesson, historian George Kirchmann was on hand to educate guests about Old Grace Church, the servants cottage and the Floyd-Jones Library.
