Members of the community came out to enjoy the delicious homemade breakfast treats, followed by a live band with local vendors and family fun.

 

Each year the festival is held to benefit organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Beloit Hospice. Organizers say the festival wouldn't be possible without community support.

 

Strawberry Festival Co-Chairman Caryn Mellom said "we have volunteers that help through out the day from all of our benevolences as well as the volunteers from the volunteering action center so we have a lot of people, boy scouts, which come and help us throughout the day."

 

The Sun Valley Presbyterian Church holds the festival every year in June.
