Strawberry season is in full swing, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I hear tell from back home that strawberries are as big as fists in the Midwest, but I hear they are also incredible on the East Coast. Some coworkers checked out the Ladies Aid Strawberry Festival at Third Congregational Church in Middletown and had a great time. I heard they had some delicious treats there, and I’m sorry I missed out. The strawberry festivals are not all past, though. Saturday, St. Lawrence Church, 7 Hemlock Drive, Killingworth, will hold its annual strawberry festival, craft fair and auction from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Treat Dad Sunday with breakfast. A Father’s Day breakfast will be offered at the Polish National Home, 56 Warwick St., Middletown, from 7:30 to 11 a.m. For more information, call (860) 346-9915.
