Upcoming Local Worshiping Communities Events

Adelphi Friends Meeting will hold its annual Strawberry Festival from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. The Strawberry Festival is a long-standing community event and day of fun for the whole family. The Festival added a live-entertainment stage and outdoor grilled-food tent last year, and these will continue along with the indoor cafe and sale of quarts and flats of just-picked strawberries from Oak Grove Farm in southern Pennsylvania. The large rummage sale also continues, with additional areas for silent auction, clothing, plants, and a full room of used books. Children’s activities include train rides, face painting, and a moonbounce. Come for the fun and leave with great bargain purchases of clothes, electronics, books, and more. Join us as we celebrate the abundance of summer and the richness of our community! The Strawberry Festival is a rain or shine event. For more information see adelphifriends.org or email John Stith.
