FITZWILLIAM HISTORICAL SOCIETY ANNUAL STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL Our Annual Strawberry Festival will be held on Saturday, June 25th from 1-4 on the historic Town Common, Route 119, rain or shine. Luscious strawberries, fresh whipped cream, warm biscuits and homemade lemonade will delight you. This old- time country fund-raiser will feature cheerful music, warm hospitality and pleasant company. Proceeds benefit the Fitzwilliam Historical Society. During June and July the Amos J. Blake House Museum will display items from private collections for the exhibit “Boys and Their Toys.” You will have the opportunity to see vintage games, metal cut-out figures, action figures such as Johnny West, and even a Show & Tell TV. Come and see what some of us might remember from our childhoods! Free guided tours of the Amos J. Blake House Museum, on the Common, are offered on the first and last Saturdays from 1-4 pm through the summer, beginning in June. Other Saturday afternoons will be offered by chance or appointment. Whether you are young or young at heart we encourage you to join us for our festive summer events. We look forward to seeing you!! 603-585-7742, fhs@myfairpoint.net
