Despite rain, Strawberry Festival draws steady crowd TORY DENIS 17 hrs ago 0 F Despite rain, Strawberry Festival draws steady crowd Visitors of all ages picked and sampled fresh strawberries, ice cream, and strawberry shortcake, and visited the petting zoo, went on hayrides, and browsed the more than 40 food and artisan vendors at the annual Strawberry Festival on Saturday, June 23 at Wellwood Orchards, a family-owned farm in Springfield, Vermont. Despite occasional rain showers — which brought out colorful umbrellas to the fields and bandstand — the flow of foot traffic was steady all day as visitors enjoyed live music and stopped in for fresh cider donuts and other treats at the country store. Organizers said Wellwood Orchards plans to bring the event back again next year. TORY DENIS
