Vandalia Strawberry Fest is this month

The annual Vandalia Community Preservation Association (VCPA) Strawberry Fest will take place on Sunday, June 8.

The event will start at the historic Vandalia Schoolhouse, where strawberries, shortcake, and ice cream will be served from 2 to 4:30 p.m.

Across the street at the Vandalia Historical Chapel will be Lloyd Wood, with his acoustic guitar, from 3 to 4:30 p.m., performing a variety of classic country favorites, as well as original songs, vocal impressions such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Elvis, down-home country humor and a few gospel songs. Accompanying Wood will be Ed Davis on bass.

Enjoy an afternoon of great entertainment and delicious dessert while supporting a great cause. The cost of the event is $12 for adults and $5 for children aged 10 and under, which includes both the food and the live music. Proceeds benefit VCPA for preservation and maintenance of the historic chapel and one-room schoolhouse.

The event will take place in the village of Vandalia (six miles west of Spencer) at 5471 Vandalia Rd., off State Roads 246 and 46.
