Furnace Town holds Strawberry Day

SNOW HILL -- Gather the family and head for Furnace Town Living Heritage Museum on Sunday to enjoy Strawberry Day. Between 1 and 4 p.m., a variety of strawberry desserts will be sold, and the winner of the best strawberry dessert contest will be announced, with entries sliced. Judging will be based on taste and presentation. In the past there have been pies, cakes, tortes, rolls, a charlotte and a strawberry dessert lasagna. Deadline to register for the dessert contest is May 29 at 5 p.m.

Luscious desserts will be served by Furnace Town volunteers. Strawberry shortcakes, strawberry soup, ice cream sundaes, strawberry salsa and strawberry lemonade and other strawberry dishes will be available in The Gathering Room at the Visitor Center.

Strawberry Day is included in Furnace Town's daily site admission of $5 for adults, $4.50 for adults over 60 and $3 for children 2-13. A special tasting admission is also available for an additional $3, which will allow visitors to taste a sample of all the dishes. There will also be desserts available for purchase. Call Furnace Town at 410-632-2032 or furnacetown1832 @aol.com.
