FREDONIA, Wis. - Strawberry Festival in Cedarburg was canceled, but one vendor decided to throw a strawberry celebration anyway.
Tom Schwai, owner of Schwai s Meat & Sausage in Fredonia, isn t giving up on having a strawberry-themed event this year – leading one of his own on Saturday, June 5. We are having a ‘Strawberry Celebration,’ Schwai said. People come from all over. When we were at Strawberry Fest that they canceled in Cedarburg, when I used to have a store down there, we’d do 4,000 sandwiches in two days.
Strawberry Festival not happening Memorial Day Weekend
–The Village of Arroyo Grande will not be hosting the Strawberry Festival or Strawberry Celebration this month, but residents and visitors can still participate in something significant to commemorate Memorial Day weekend. Merchants in the Village are donating a portion of their sales this weekend to support the Kristin Smart scholarship.
Funded by the nonprofit organization Justice For Kristin, the Kristin Smart Scholarship is a way to celebrate and remember Kristin’s life, hopes, dreams, and ambitions by financially helping other young women realize theirs. The scholarship grants are awarded annually to college-bound female students from San Luis Obispo and San Joaquin Counties. For a minimum of 10 years, the goal is to annually award $2,500 or greater scholarship grants to those selected by the awards committee.
