If you haven’t taken full advantage of the short but wonderful strawberry season, Sunday’s the day to make up for it. At the Wainscott Strawberry Festival, held at the Wainscott Chapel from 2 to 4 p.m. (or until supplies run out), there will be strawberry shortcake to eat on the premises or take home.

The cost is $10 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under, with all proceeds benefiting the chapel. New this year, the Wainscott Sewing Society will raffle off a basket of treats from businesses in the hamlet.
