Strawberry Festival – Schedule for Sunday, May 17

Well, this is it. The final day of the 78th West Virginia Strawberry Festival.

The parades are over, but there are still fun strawberry events on the docket. Get outdoors for pistol matches, the Jack Barker Canoe Race, Irish Road Bowling and golf. Or check out the gospel sing at Buckhannon Union Mission Church.

And, kiddos, it’s the last day for the carnival, so swing by Jawbone Park between 1 and 6 p.m.
