It has been a little over a month since the 2026 Rosedale Strawberry Festival and we were finally able to have our “after the festival” meeting!
The first thing the Strawberry Festival committee would like to do is to say THANK YOU! Thank you to each and every one of our volunteers because without you we would never be able to pull such a fantastic event off! Thank you to all of the vendors for coming out year after year and the new ones that took a chance on us! You all are also an important part to the success of our event. Your quality products, your following, your creativity and much more brings so much to the plate! Thank you to ALL of our sponsors! I would literally hug each and every one of you if I could (but there’s always a “not a hugger” in the group)! You are as much of the backbone of our success as anyone else! Without you all we could not grow the festival, try new things or well, even exist! You all are rockstars! And trust me, not a one of us take your donations lightly! We truly appreciate each and every donation we get! The majority are family owned businesses and we know every dollar you earn is important to your success. And we appreciate you having enough confidence in us to share your success with our little town!
And last, but not least I/we want to say THANK YOU to all the people of our community and beyond that came out to enjoy one day, all three days or anywhere in between!! It was a hot one this year and the streets were still filled with patrons enjoying the festival! We could do everything right and without patrons attending our event (even in the scorching heat) no one would be successful! So Thank you ALL so very much!
I am certain I have missed someone, somewhere, somehow! So PLEASE know WE are so thankful for whatever part you played in the 2026 Rosedale Strawberry Festival and cannot wait to start planning next years event! 🍓🍰🍓🍰
