Main St Torrington

Donna S. was so thrilled when she picked up her new charcoal grill, bag of charcoal and $100 Aldi gift card…

Congratulations! Enjoy your summer with the new grill!!

A big congratulations to Donna S. the winner of the Charcoal Grill and $100 Aldi Gift Card… thank you for attending the festival and we hope you had a great time!!!

One of the things we’ve always had to consider when doing the Torrington Strawberry Festival, is that we can’t run out of shortcake… so we’re inevitably going to end the day with product.

We have always turned this surplus (loss) into into a gain by helping the needy.

This year we were ecstatic to donate almost 100 portions of strawberry shortcake to the FISH / Friends in Service to Humanity of Northwestern Connecticut, Inc.

Immediately following the festival, right from our refrigerator truck to the shelter, we delivered 40 lbs of strawberries, 96 biscuits and a case of whipped cream for the residents to enjoy and share in the fun!

A huge thank you to Deirdre Houlihan DiCara and her entire staff for the wonderful work they do.

Little ReyAnne woke up this morning, dressed herself and was ready to go meet Strawberry Shortcake, but confusion over rain dates caused her to miss the festival… So Strawberry Shortcake came to meet her with a cool strawberry bag filled with the ingredients to make her own strawberry shortcake!

Erin needs your help…
I share this post because we have hosted and facilitated the Big Idaho Potato Truck’s appearances in Torrington for the past 10 years, with this coming July 16th’s visit the 5th time that Erin would have arrived with it…

She had been diagnosed with lymphoma, and needs help hitting her $15,000 gofundme goal, and she’s very close!

To know Erin is to love her, absolutely the sweetest and loveliest person you could ever meet, and we have been blessed to have her here with the truck.

Links to donate are in the attached post… thank you!
