Strawberry Festival Program Returns

The 17th annual Strawberry Festival Queen program, along with the 15th annual Junior Royalty contest, will take place Saturday at Crawfordsville High School.

Nine of Montgomery County’s finest will grace the auditorium stage as they compete for the title of the 2022 Montgomery County Strawberry Festival Queen and 15 children will compete for the titles of the 2022 Montgomery County Strawberry Festival Prince and Princess.

The program will take place at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 (cash only) at the door for anyone ages 6 or older.

The program will award a queen, first runner-up, second runner-up and Miss Congeniality who will all earn cash scholarships and will reign over the Strawberry Festival, which is June 10-12 at the Lane Place.

The community is invited to bring donations the night of the program. New items needed: construction paper, big glue juys for slime making, slime activator markers, jewelry making beads, jewelry wire & clasps, food coloring, puzzles, and any items that can be used for crafts.
