Brookfield Historical Society Hosts Annual Strawberry Festival

From the Brookfield Historical Society:

The Strawberry Festival hosted by the Brookfield Historical Society will take place on Sunday, May 29, 2016, between 12:30 and 3:00 p.m. The festival is held each year in conjunction with the Town’s Memorial Day Parade. It is located outside the Brookfield Museum at the intersection of Routes 25 and 133 in Brookfield Center. The parade ends near the museum parking lot where strawberry shortcake and soft drinks will be sold to support future public programs of the Society. Billy Michael’s Jazz for Juniors band, provided by Hegarty Realty, will be on hand as well as a display of antique and vintage automobiles. At the same time, within the Society’s Museum, the sixth annual Brookfield War Memorial exhibit will be open to the public. It is a moving display, which honors 44 former Brookfield residents who gave their lives while in the military, in service to the United States. Admission is free and the public is encouraged to attend.
