From the Medford Sq Farmer's Market mailing list:

We are so excited for the Strawberry Fest happening next Thursday, June 27th @ 3-7
pm!

Indulge your greedy side by gathering up pints and pints of local sweet strawberries.
Enter our Strawberry Bakeoff to win a beautiful planted Strawberry Pot. Let your
little kids show off their artistic side by decorating a paper strawberry. And
set your older kids to making their own tie-dyed fabric creations. Our Strawberry
Fest will have something for everyone!

Our produce vendors will of course be bringing lots of fresh, ripe, locally grown
strawberries for you to feast on. Also try out some strawberry bread (unique!)
from Fornax Bread, strawberry desserts from Janabees, and strawberry-rhubarb donuts
(really!) from Union Square Donuts.

Are you a dessert chef? Do you want to be? Longing to try out a new recipe using
sweet seasonal strawberries? Enter your creation in our Strawberry Bakeoff, and
you could win a gorgeous, already planted Strawberry Pot from Doolittle Flora!

To enter the Strawberry Bakeoff, just email medfordfarmersmarket@gmail.com with your
name (and what you are bringing, if you know).

And here's a great, fun idea you and your family can all enjoy at the Strawberry
Fest: Strawberry tie-dye! Bring along a light-color T-shirt, pair of socks, headband,
onesie-whatever you like, and our tie-dye artist Corinne will help you create a
really unique piece of fabric art to take home! If you don't have anything, we will
give you a bandana to use. Wrap your piece with rubber bands to create patterns,
color it with red and green dye (non-toxic of course), and seal it in a plastic
zip-lock bag to take home and dry.

See you next week for Strawberry Fest!
