The Wainscott Sewing Society's annual Strawberry Shortcake Festival returns on Sunday at the Wainscott Chapel from 2 to 4 p.m., or until Lisa and Bill Babinski's fresh farm stand berries run out.

Shortcakes can be devoured inside the chapel or out, or taken to go. The cost is $10 for adults, $5 for children under 12. Proceeds help the sewing society to maintain the 152-year-old chapel.
