Tiskilwa
Strawberry Festival
The Tiskilwa Strawberry Festival is an annual tradition that takes place the first Saturday in June. There are townwide garage sales and at West Park, the grills are cooking chicken for lunch. Plow Creek sells strawberry shortcake and ice cream for desert. For the past couple years, our youth group, for a fund raiser, has taken responsibility for the rolls, coleslaw, and baked beans that go along with the chicken meal.We got together on Friday the day before to mix the cole slaw after helping to cut up berries, and then on Saturday we served them. Here our some pictures of the two days.
Berries, Berries, Berries!
