T h e S t i l w e l l K i w a n i s C l u b , w h i c h h a s s p o n s o r e dt h e
Strawberry Festival ever since its inception, has had an
unbroken tradition of communitv service since it was
chartered 4O years ago.
"We
Under the moto of
Serve", the Stilwell Kiwanis
Club sponsors such diversified activities as the Boy
S c o u t s ,t h e a n n u a l S t r a w b e r r y F e s t i v a l ,a n d t h e s u m m e r
basebafl program lor area boys and girls.
Club members participate in fund raising activities
"Pancake
such as
Day" which traditionally is held the
morning of the openrng day of deer season.
The Strawberry Festival dates back to 1948 when the
Stilwell Kiwanis Club decided to do something about
stimulating interest in one of Adair County's major
economtc resources.
The Strawberry crop that year was valued at about
"the
biggest berry
$ 7 5 O , O O Oa n d w a s d e s c r i b e d a s
harvest the area has ever experienced."
Short Season
The strawberry season is relatively short, starting
early in May and ending about June 1 - but it's long
enough for everyone to get his or her share.
Crates of strawberries sell especially fast on Strawberry Festival Day, so those wishing to buy are reminded
to get lheir share as early in the day as possible.
Growers will be in Stilwell on Festival Day to sell
berries near the band stand where much of the action
takes place.
Hundreds of people, including migrant workers,
sfudents and housewives, jump in each year to harvest
the strawberry crop.
A g o o d p i c k e r c a n p i c k a b o u t 1 O Oq u a r t b o x e s i n a s i x
hour day. A few years ago, 73 pickers picked 25O crates
lrom 2/z acres for one of the best days on record anywhere in the county.
Local strawberry growers like rhe Cardinal variety
best. Other popular varieties include Sunrise and Early
Go.
The experienced pickers use a variety of positions.
Some stoop, others squat. kneel or sit. Those who sit say
they remain seated and scoot from one plant to the next.
The crop is sold at Stilwell area markets and to retail
outlets in Tulsa, Muskogee, Fort Smith, Ark., and other
cities.
Many people f rom miles around drive to Stilwell each
May to buy berries to take home for themselves, neighbors and relatives.

n the earlv forties Stilwell. Oklahoma was a small
town. A town populated by hard working, good
people. The perfect place for a young company
insistenton down-home goodness.
Stilwell, Oklahoma is still small. Still good. And, after forty-two
years,still home of Stilwell Foods. Company's grown.
Prospered.But never lost our old-fashionedstandards
of goodness.
We still insist on garden freshnessin our vegetables
and the finest quality of ingredientsfor our bakery
oroducts.
Tasty frozen vegetables. Mouth-watering frozen desserts.
Tender and flaky pie crusts. Look for
them in your grocer's freezer.
Stilwell Foods. Still insisting on the small town that
makes good.
Stilwell was named for Arthur Edward Stilwell who
built the Kansas City Southern Railwav, founded several
dozen hamlets and villages, and created a city, port
Arthur, Tex., named for himself. Between 18g6 ano
1912, he made sizable contributions to the economtc
growth of the south-central states of Oklahoma.
Arkansas, Louisiana. and Texas.
Stilwell was a red haw thicket, intersoersed with
persimmon trees, in 1895 when the Kansas City
Southern
Railway bought
a right-of-way from
M r s . M a r t h a J o h n s o n a n d M r s . E l i z a b e t hF r e e m a n .V e r y
soon, lots were offered for sale and a town plat laid out.
The United States Congress passed a bill in 1830 for
the removal of the Five Civilized Tribes from the southeastern part.ofthe u.s. into Indian Territory, now known
as Oklahoma. All of Adair County became a part of tne
Cherokee Nation. Many Cherokees were already here
when, in about 1838, the Eastern Cherokees were
forced to leave their homes in Georgia, Tennessee, and
North Carolina and were driven over the infamous
"Trail
of Tears," ending in the northern part of Adair
County at Mission Mountain.
About 91 per cent of thepersonsliving inthesouthern
part of Adair County are of Cherokee descent. Also. the
county has the greatest concentration of Cheroxee
Indians in the United States.
Makes good frozen and
breaded vegetables.
