In June we will have  our Strawberry Fiesta, with strawberry salads, pizzas, cheesecakes, shortcakes and anything else you can make with strawberries. July 7th we'll once again be doing free hot dogs for our customers. This was a real hit last year. I'll post more as the season progresses. I just wanted to whet your appetite a little today.
