I see all the buildings and shops in the photos but was a bit disappointed that there is not a clear shot of my shop. The second strawberry festival this year was bigger and better with LOCAL strawberries. Next year's festival promises to be even better. Don't forget the 2012 Strawberry festival coming next May.

I learn so much by researching on the web and this little town was really interesting and thriving in its heyday. Sadly, now there are no more strawberry growers shipping from Marion Station. But it was great to see local folks celebrating its heritage. Please come back again cause there will be future posts like this.Beatrice P.
