Grove City will have strawberries galore June 9-11
Area residents who are fans of strawberries will be a huge fans of Grove City’s Strawberry Days festival, which features strawberries, strawberry doughnuts, strawberry shortcake, and a host of other things with the word “strawberry” attached to it.
The 32nd annual Strawberry Days event takes place at Grove City Memorial Park, and is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, June 9 and Saturday, June 10, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 11. Entry is free for the event on all three days.
Festival organizer Mary Kay Mattocks, who is also part of the Grove City Council, has been a part of Strawberry Days since its inception. During its first years, Mattocks managed a store on Broad Street.
“The first two years, it was called the ‘Art and Music Festival,’ and the artists had their art on the sidewalk in front of stores,” Mattocks said.
