Your Calendars for the Annual New Gloucester Strawberry
Festival
New Gloucester Historical Society will once again
host the annual Strawberry Festival. All are cordially
invited. The date has yet to be set due to the sensitive
nature of the berries to this rather crazy spring
weather. The place will be the New Gloucester Congregational
Church Vestry on Gloucester Hill Rd. In addition to
a variety of delicious ways to eat the berries, the
Festival will also feature the Berry, Berry Good Band,
a baked goods table and a history table. Watch these
pages for details!
