Strawberry Plains Spring Festival 2009 Photos

Strawberry Plains had the Strawberry Plains Spring Festival on Saturday, May 9, 2009. The Strawberry Plains Community Alliance sponsors the annual event.

This year's event featured a parade, car show, crafts and food vendors. There were games for the kids, a small petting zoo and lots of other activities. The Strawberry Plains Spring Festival even had bagpipe music. The clear tones floated across the late morning landscape beckoning one and all to join the festival.

One of the most anticipated events at the Strawberry Plains Spring Festival is the car show and parade.

The car show was held on the parking lot of the Straw Plains Market and Deli. At 11:30 the parade line-up began.

Most of the activities took place on the field of Rush Strong School. The Strawberry Plains Community Alliance maintains close ties with the school.

The Strawberry Plains Spring Festival 2009 was enjoyed by many in the Strawberry Plains community. Thank you Strawberry Plains Community Alliance. See you next year!

The clip begins just after the New Market Fire Department truck and the Grand Marshall, Elsie Harrell. We forgot the camera would take video too. Next time we'll get from the very start. It was a great parade and a great festival!


More videos will be coming up as they process. Keep watching for updates!

We're getting ready for the Strawberry Plains Spring Festival. The Strawberry Plains Community Alliance has been planning the event since last year's success. Some of you may remember that this is a resurrection of a previous event.

Such a smash hit demanded a repeat. There will be music on several stages, craft and food vendors, education and information booths - you name it! This end of Old Andrew Johnson Hwy will be blocked off. Festivities will start at the parking lots of the United Methodist and Presbyterian Churches at about 3173 W. Old Andrew Johnson Hwy. Booths and vendors will line the street and conclude at First Baptist Church at 3100 Old Andrew Johnson Hwy.

Our new office and thrift shop are located in about the middle of the event. Our outdoor cafe will be a good place to stop and rest. We'll have hot dogs and our typical sodas and snacks. Plus, there could be a surprise bag sale that will add to the fun.

Plenty of kid friendly activities are planned during this family event. Everyone loves a parade! There will also be face painting, games and inflatables. It's guaranteed fun for all ages!

So come see us! Bring your family, friends and plan to have a great time. The festival runs from 9:00 - 4:00, Saturday, May 10, 2008. Don't miss it!
