Short Season
The strawberry season is relativoly short, starting
early in May and ending about June 1 - but it's long
enough for everyoneto get his or her share,
Crates of strawberries sell especially fast on Strawberry Festival Day, so those wishing to buy aro reminded
to got their share as early in the day as possible.
Growers will be in Stilwell on FestivalDay to sell
berries noar the band stand where much of the action
takes place.
Hundreds of people, including migrant workers.
students and housowives, jump in each year to harvest
the strawborry crop.
A good picker can pick about 1OOquart boxes in a six
hour day. A few years ago,73 pickers picked 2bO crates
Irom 2 112 acres for one of the best days on record anywhere in the county.
