The people of St. Philip’s Church, in Wiscasset will have been busy hulling, crushing, and sugaring loads of luscious strawberries, readying them for the famous, real-whipped-cream-piled-high shortcakes on Saturday, June 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Or have yours with Wiscasset’s Lear ice cream. Or just a dish of strawberries can be had, as well. And don’t forget the Wilbur’s chocolate covered berries. You can have yours before or after your sandwich, soup or a hot dog or two at the outside hot dog stand.

Time your visit and you can take in Lou the Magician’s show at 11 a.m. and the ever popular pie auction at noon. While visiting the Bargain Basement filled with good stuff cheap and the several crafters’ stalls displaying varied wares, your children will also have activities to enjoy in the Children’s Area behind the Church Hall. There will be abundant homemade goodies to be purchased at the bake table.

Don’t forget to save some room for the ever popular, ever delicious St. Philip’s Fish Chowder Suppers, Monday nights, beginning on July 9 and running through the end of August. Seating begins at 5 p.m. when the St. Philip’s crew dishes up rich and creamy Haddock Chowder. Rounding out the menu is vegetable soup for the vegetarian palate, salad bar, and breads, desserts and beverage.

It’s a wonderful way to enjoy a Down Maine Monday supper while helping to support St. Philip’s community missions.
