This year’s 40th Anniversary of the Owego Strawberry Festival was met with overwhelming crowds throughout the two-day event. The forecast turned a bit, and it rained on the parade, but only a slight rain and with temperatures dropping on Saturday. People turned out in spite of the weather.<\/p>\n

For Friday’s Block Party, the festival was overflowing with guests that arrive to see the bands, the fireworks, spiderman, the dinosaurs, and to shop the vendors. And the parade, although a bit wet and cold, drew a large crowd as well, with festival goers lined up to watch the units parade around town.<\/p>\n
