Strawberry festival brings out residents

By Rob Scott

Several people also stopped into the church for a brief history lesson from volunteer Lorraine Miller, who was decked out in a period costume, which included her grandmother’s petticoat. Pointing, she said, “The fourth pew back over there is my family’s pew.”

Years ago, when mass was still held in the church, the congregation had a seating arrangement, she said. The church stopped holding services around 1950, though it opens up several times throughout the year for special events, weekend tours during the summer and for weddings.

Greiner said the society usually raises about $3,000 from the Strawberry Festival.
