Strawberry Knots At The Festival In The Village
Our First Village Event At The New Location
We had our first experience with a 'special event' in Olde Mistick Village. Last weekend was the Strawberry Festival. Lots of visitors in our shop and everywhere really. In addition to all the shops in the village, there were lots of vendors with tents filled with all things strawberry and more, cheese, crafts, cider, and pies. There was even a strawberry short cake booth.
A few days before the event a couple of our knot tying artisans were scrambling to come up with some strawberry knots. And of course they did. The parts were created and then assembled the day before.
A beautiful two berry monkey fist strawberry patch similar to our pumpkin patch.
We had steady traffic, many people getting their sailor bracelets and coasters for summer. Then someone asked if we had any strawberry key chains so Jill whipped up a bunch!
Back at our shop, bracelets, hair sticks and even a strawberry basket.
The hair sticks are available in heart, round, and Celtic shapes.
The heart shaped hair stick in strawberry colors.
Baskets of farm fresh strawberries and I see some pies in the background.
So not just strawberries, homemade cheeses, cider, make your own sand art fun, fried dough, ice cream, a variety of farm animals and dogs for adoption.
Lucky for us there was a food truck parked right in front of the shop. One of the many features I love about the Village is there are many benches located throughout because you do get your steps in here!
Came across this beautiful mini waterfall that was off one of the many restaurant's outdoor patios. A mallard male was standing nearby, posing really. I discovered soon his mate was nesting 4 feet away in the shade.
The next event for the Village is this weekend!
