Take Dad out for dessert on Father's Day, June 17, when Winchester Grange presents its annual Strawberry Festival at the Grange Hall on the Green in Winchester Center (100 Newfield Road). 

The festival features the area's largest servings of strawberry shortcake, made with fresh strawberries, homemade biscuits, and freshly whipped cream. 

The festival will begin at 2:30 PM and will run until it sells out. The price is $6.00 for adults and $4.00 for a children's serving. Take-outs and items baked by the members of Winchester Grange will also be available. The Winsted Laurel Queen or King will also be on hand, making their first official appearance after being crowned!
