School's Almost Out Strawberry Social!

Fairs/Festivals
Pratt House Museum, 19 West Avenue, Essex, CT

What better way to celebrate the end of another school year and the beginning of summer than fun, games and strawberry shortcake? EHS is holding its Annual School’s Almost Out Strawberry Social Sunday, June 23, 2013 — mere days before the local children are released for summer vacation. We always have a fantastic time as well as more than enough servings of homemade strawberry shortcake to go around and we would love to have some hungry kids come help us eat it all. But first, build up that appetite with exciting activities and games fit for the whole family, and as a special treat the Sailing Masters' music will add to our festive mood. The Third Annual Preservation Award will be presented as well. No rain will get in the way of our good time — this party is on rain or shine!
