Short Season
The strawberry season is relatively short, starting
early in May and ending about June I - but it,s long
enough for everyoneto get his or her share.
Crates of strawberries sell especiallyfast on Strawberry FestivalDay. so those wishing to buy are reminded
to get their 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,
sfu(ents and housewives,jump in each year to harvest
the strawberry crop.
A good picker.canpick about IOO quart boxes in a six
hour day. A few years ago, 73 pickerspicked2SOcrares
Irom 2Yzacres for one of the best days on record anywhere in the county.
