As Mayor, I invite you and your family to bring an appetite for fun as our community welcomes you to the city of Marysville, proud home of the Marysville Strawberry Festival and Twilight Grand Parade. The Strawberry Festival celebrates the annual berry harvest, and the colorful role that these famous berries have played as a part of Marysville’s rich agricultural heritage. This year’s festival promises to be more dazzling and pageantry-� lled than ever.

The Marysville Strawberry Festival is one of the longest ongoing festivals in Washington State, and ranks among the most recognized strawberry festivals in the nation.

We invite you to join the thousands of families from around the Paci� c Northwest and parts beyond who come to enjoy the full spectacle of summertime fun, food and events spread over several days.

The Strawberry Festival is about bringing people together as a community, and sharing that sense of belonging with all visitors. In that neighborly spirit of friendliness, we welcome you to our great city!

Jon NehringMayorMarysville

We are rolling out the red carpet for the 80th Annual Marysville Strawberry Festival, “Berrywood”!

I am so excited to be able to invite you and your families to join us June 9 through 19 for a week of events I am sure you will enjoy. Our volunteers have been working very hard to make this week memorable for everyone that attends. The Strawberry Festival has something for everyone from the Grand Parade to the Kiddies Parade, the Market to the Carnival, the Adult Trike Races to Kids Day and much, much more!

A big thank you to all the board members and volunteers for all the planning and hard work they have put into this year’s festival. Also to the city of Marysville, Tulalip Tribes, and all our sponsors, thank you for helping to make this year outstanding!

I hope you will be able to come and enjoy all the food, events, and fun that this year’s festival has to offer.

Angie Miller

PresidentMaryfest

On behalf of the Tulalip Tribes, welcome to the 80th annual Marysville Strawberry Festival!

The Tulalip Tribes take great pride in our strong partnership with Marysville, Everett and all of Snohomish County. Our people have been here for thousands of years prior to the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855 which brought the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykomish and other tribes and bands together on the Tulalip Reservation.

Tulalip and Marysville share much history. Together as friends and neighbors, we hope this festival offers a peek at the entertainment, culture, history and other opportunities our area offers.

During festivities, we invite you to visit our nationally acclaimed Tulalip Resort Casino, outlet mall, amphitheatre and restaurants on the west side of I-5. Your vital business and support funds education, environmental restoration, social services, health care, law enforcement, and art/culture education for both Tribal membership and the surrounding region.

Enjoy your stay and please come back soon…

Mel SheldonChairmanTulalip Tribes

Welcome to the 2011 Strawberry Festival, the oldest festival in the state of Washington, founded in 1932 — over 79 years ago!

The Greater Marysville and Tulalip communities are extremely proud to host this community tradition which was founded, supported, and promoted by our hometown newspaper, The Marysville Globe.

This comprehensive Strawberry Festival Guide will help you navigate through a fun-� lled week of festival events. The guide gives meaning to the home in hometown and provides us with a real sense of value to living in the “The Strawberry City” — our American hometown community.

We applaud The Marysville Globe for founding and supporting this beloved hometown tradition by publishing the annual Strawberry Festival Guide — a wonderful resource for both the community as well as guests of the “Strawberry City.” It will be an invaluable resource we will continue to give our visitors that will visit us at the Visitor Information Center throughout the next year.

Virginia Carpenter’s history with the Strawberry Festival goes back for decades, and this year she’ll be treating the youngest members of her family to the experience.

Virginia Carpenter named 2011 Strawberry Festival Grand Marshal

Carpenter, who recently retired as a director of the Tulalip Senior Center after nearly 20 years of service there, was named the Grand Marshal of this year’s Strawberry Festival after working with longtime Maryfest member Carol Kapua on behalf of Tulalip elders.

“It’s so precious to get to know the elders and to listen to their sto-ries,” said Carpenter, the sister of Tulalip elder Stan Jones Sr. “Just being around them is neat. When they pass away, so much history is lost.”

Carpenter brings her own history to this year’s Strawberry Festival, which began with stints as a mem-ber of the Strawberry Festival’s R o y a l t y in both 1952 and 1954.

“We didn’t have to do a tal-ent portion back then,” Carpenter laughed. “It was based mostly on who sold the most tickets.”

While Carpenter is quick to down-play her accom-plishment by insisting that she made it into the Royalty Court a second time because “nobody else wanted to run,” she wound up wearing a crown again during the Strawberry Festival a few years ago, when she and her husband were chosen as the king and queen for the Tulalip Senior Center.

“This really is an honor,” Carpenter said of her latest Strawberry Festival title as Grand Marshall. “I was real-ly surprised to be chosen. My son

and daughter knew before I did. Carol invited me to a Christmas get-together, and the next thing I knew, I was the new Grand Marshall,” she laughed.

Carpenter takes pride in never having missed a Strawberry Festival Grand Parade, “come rain or shine,”

and expressed enthusiasm for all her favorite festival activi-

ties, from the Adult Trike Races to the Market in Asbery Field.

“I always try to sample a bunch of different things to

eat from the ven-dors,” Carpenter said.

“I’ve taken my kids to the Strawberry F e s t i v a l , then my grandkids, and now, I’ll be t a k i n g

my great-grandkids.”

C a r p e n t e r ’s great-grandson Mike and great-granddaughter Melissa will even get to join her in this year’s Grand Parade, passing down her family’s con-

nection to the Strawberry Festival to the next generation.

Although Carpenter has lived as far away as California, in the end, she knew she would move back to Marysville.

“I had to come home,” Carpenter said. “I missed the scenery, the views, the trees, the birds and even the sun-shine. I’ve traveled all over, and I can say there’s not a more beautiful place than Marysville.”

“I’ve traveled all over and I can say there’s not a more beautiful place

than Marysville.”— Virginia Carpenter

Strawberry Festival

Royalty Queen Louie

Vital, a 16-year-old

junior at the School

for the Entrepreneur

at Marysville Getchell

High School, hopes

that her time on this

year’s court will help

her perfect her public

speaking skills.

senior royaltyLouie VitalRoyalty Queen

The daughter of Laurente and Lucky Vital plans to study political science at the University of Washington, with an eye toward eventu-ally becoming a lawyer or serving in either a legislative or a bureaucratic agency.

Although her brief time as a member of the Strawberry Festival Royalty has already treated her to some parades in which she’s spent half the day under an umbrella because of the rain and the other half of those same days getting sunburned when the skies cleared, Vital strives to project an infectious enthusiasm whenever she appears in public.

“It’s hard to fake having fun,” Vital said. “You really do have to be doing your best to have fun, no matter what.”

Vital’s hectic schedule already accom-modates her membership in her school’s ASB and FBLA, as well as participation in the YMCA’s Mock Trial program. She’ll returning to the Marysville Municipal Court as an intern to learn more about local city govern-ment.

Vital entered this year’s Strawberry Festival Royalty Pageant in part to overcome her fear of public speak-ing, and the positive interactions she’s had with many members of the public through the festival have aided in easing her anxieties.

“It’s so rewarding to see the faces

of little kids when you wave and blow kisses at them,” Vital said. “They get all happy.”

For the talent portion of this year’s pageant, Vital performed a scene from Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” and in the impromptu ques-tion-and-answer session that followed she warned against relying too much on the

media to define one’s self-image.“The need for belonging is an emo-

tional one which makes us susceptible to depression,” said Vital, who deemed her greatest concern the under-appre-ciation of the importance of education. “But we don’t need the media to tell us who we are or who we should be.”

Vital encouraged those who are already aspiring to become part of next year’s court to practice their own public speaking.

“Try to incorporate proper poise into everything that you do,” Vital said.

In the meantime, Vital invited the Marysville community to turn out in full force for all of the Strawberry Festival’s activities, including its Grand Parade on State Avenue.

“It’s nice to travel to all these other places, but it’s so exciting to think of seeing the faces of all our family members and friends in the crowds,” Vital said. “I’m looking forward to dancing and having fun with the people I know.”

Royalty Prince Erik

Kundu, a 17-year-

old junior at the

International School

of Communications

at Marysville Getchell

High School, entered

this year’s pageant

to try and get more

involved in his local

community.

senior royaltyErik KunduPrince

The son of Nola and Michael Kundu is already enrolled in the running start program at Everett Community College and plans to attend either UCLA or the University of Victoria to study law.

While Kundu is a goal-oriented young man, his early experiences as a member of the Strawberry Festival Royalty have already taught him to be a bit flexible.

“You have to expect the unexpected in multiple circumstances, like being able to jump-start a car,” Kundu laughed. “After a while, you realize that you just have to have fun with it.”

Despite the distance of locations to which he’s traveled through the Strawberry Festival, as well as the diversity of groups he’s encountered in those places, Kundu has found more similarities than differ-ences among them.

“Even when they’re so far away, so much remains the same,” said Kundu, who’s also traveled to Costa Rica, Jamaica, Germany and Denmark in previous years. “Even among different cultures, we still share so many of the same festivities. The parades get everyone in the communities involved.”

During the talent portion of this year’s pageant, Kundu donned zombie face-paint and a single white glove to dance to the tune of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” following his speech in which he compared celebrities like Jackson

to legislators like former U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy.

“Entertainment doesn’t have the same value as politics or education,” Kundu said. “And yet, the salary of an NFL player is much higher than that of a

teacher.”During the impromptu ques-

tion-and-answer session, Kundu identified cyber-bullying as a new permutation of a pre-exist-ing problem, which he advised responding to in the same way as face-to-face bullying, by building up the self-esteem of bullying victims and discour-aging bullies from engaging in

their behavior.Kundu advised any young peo-

ple who are thinking of entering the Strawberry Festival Royalty Pageant next year to be themselves and enjoy the journey.

“Everything else will follow from there,” Kundu said. “Be proud to

represent our community.”It’s advice that Kundu has adopted

himself as he looks forward to the much nearer future of this year’s Strawberry Festival.

“I can’t wait for all the things we’ll get to do that week, while we see our friends and family in the com-munity,” Kundu said.

senior royaltyLauren StallcupPrincess

After attending Everett Community College, the daugh-ter of Maria and Lare Stallcup aims to follow in her mother’s foot-steps by becoming a nurse. While it’s not nearly as stressful as her adult career aspi-ration, Stallcup has already weathered a few storms at the start of her stint as a member of the Strawberry Festival Royalty, in some cases literally.

“I’ve learned to smile through the rain while riding on our float,” Stallcup laughed.

Stallcup is no stranger to busy schedules, between editing her school’s newspaper and taking part in char-ity marathons through-out the state, usually as part of a mother-daughter team. She described her-self as a shy child and, like Strawberry Festival Royalty Queen Louie Vital, sees the festival as a means of gaining experience in public speaking.

Stallcup has appreciat-ed the opportunities that the Strawberry Festival has afforded her to get acquainted with the cel-ebrations of other com-munities and, in some cases, the customs of other cultures.

“We saw the prayers at the Tulalip Tribal Elders Luncheon and got to visit the Wenatchee Apple Blossom Festival,” Stallcup said. “Everyone we’ve met has been so involved in their own communities.”

As part of this year’s Strawberry Festival Royalty Pageant, Stallcup demonstrated how to dress appro-priately for both casual and formal

occasions with only a few changes in clothing. She responded to the impromptu question-and-answer

session by encouraging everyone to pursue their childhood

dreams, many of which she believes can obtained with just a bit of extra effort. To lower high school drop-

out rates, she suggested reminding students of how difficult the cur-rent job market can be even for those who have degrees.

Based on her own experiences, Stallcup is already warning aspir-ing participants in next

year’s pageant not to pro-crastinate.

“It’s nice to get things done before you need to,” Stallcup laughed.

Until then, Stallcup encouraged Marysville community members to take advantage of all the events that are taking place as part of this year’s Strawberry Festival, with the Fashion Show, the

Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest and the

Grand Parade ranking among her own favorites.

“Try to get your kids involved,” Stallcup said. “There are so many family-friendly activities going on. We want all the other towns to see how cool Marysville is.”

Ever since their Feb. 26 coronation, it’s been a whirlwind of activity for Strawberry Festival Junior Royalty Princesses and sixth-grade students Denise Jacobsen of Marysville Middle School, and Kennedy Doty and Sheridan Hedman of Cedarcrest Middle School.

In their self-introductory speeches at this year’s April Friesner Memorial Royalty Scholarship Pageant, Doty expressed an interest in science because she likes learning why things happen, while aspiring actress Hedman recounted how her brother survived his battle with cancer, and Jacobson showed off her skills as a future fashion designer by wearing a dress she’d designed herself. All three girls cited their ties to the Marysville commu-nity and described the role of Junior Royalty Princess as a lifelong dream, one which they each pledged to carry out responsibly.

Hedman entered the pageant to meet new peo-ple, which she laughingly admitted “makes me really hyper,” while Doty fondly recalled her older sister serving as a Junior Royalty Princess three years ago.

“It was a great experience for her, so I couldn’t wait to try it out myself,” Doty said.

“I wanted to inspire little kids like how I was inspired by the Royalty Princesses,” said Jacobsen, who acknowledged that she’s learned a lot about being prepared since her coronation, especially since she and her fellow Junior Royalty Princesses need to

wear matching outfits at all of their official appear-ances together.

Doty and Hedman echoed Jacobsen’s emphasis on the importance of prior planning, with Doty noting that mornings which start at 4 a.m. for her fellow Junior Royalty Princesses start at 3:30 a.m. for her because she lives further away. Fortunately, Hedman and Jacobsen agreed with Doty that they enjoy each other’s company.

“I look forward to getting to know them more and more,” Doty said. “It’s good to be around people you

like to be around.”Hedman encouraged

other young people to enter the pageant, which Jacobsen credited with introducing her to the broader Marysville com-munity, beyond her neighborhood and her church.

“This is a great com-munity,” Hedman said.

While Jacobsen was the first to confess how much she’s looking for-ward to the Strawberry

Shortcake Eating Contest, all three Junior Royalty Princesses gushed over how anxious they are to ride their parade float in their home town.

“I’m so excited for the Strawberry Festival,” Doty said. “I loved watching the parade on State Avenue last year.”

“Going to the other parades is great, but at our fes-tival parade we’ll get to see people we know waving at us,” Hedman said.

This year will mark the third annu-al “Kids Day” for the Strawberry Festival.

The afternoon-long “Kids’ Party in the Park” will again be part of the fes-tivities this summer.

Area children are invited to enjoy kid-friendly entertainment, booths and activities from noon to 6 p.m., on June 11, at Asbery Field, a week earlier and just across the street from when and where it took place last year.

“It’s just for kids,” said Linda Farrington, organizer of last year’s event. “There’s vendors and entertain-ment that’s geared toward kids. It’s lots of fun.”

While last year’s event included fewer vendor booths than its first year, it attracted more than 700 children who stopped by throughout the day.

“The grounds were full with attend-ees all the way back from the stage,” said Genie Brovold of Maryfest.

Farrington credited much of that day’s early turnout to Ronald McDonald and Scott Petersen, the Monroe-based “Reptile Man,” who returned to the Kids Day for a second year with several cases of scaly com-

panions in tow. However, she noted that significant numbers of onlookers stuck around for stage demonstra-tions by the Marysville Performing Arts Centre, the Marysville YMCA’s Zumba for Kids program, and the instructors and students of Arlington’s Trinity Martial Arts.

Boston Pizza of Lakewood handed out free pizzas and Home Depot invit-ed kids of all ages to color tiles, even as members of Rising Stars Gymnastics in Marysville demonstrated some moves while they waited to sign up for the Kiddies Parade.

“It’s always a flurry of activity,” Farrington said.

‘Kids Day’ to feature mascots, entertainment and fun for children

Members of the Marysville Performing Arts Centre performed last year’s Strawberry Festival theme of “summer fun” at the 2010 “Kids Party in the Park.”

Fans of clothing should be sure to check out one of the Strawberry Festival’s longest-running events — the fashion show.

This year’s event, which takes place at its new date and time from noon to 1:30 p.m. on June 14, will again be held at Leifer Manor, located at 12511 State Ave. in Marysville.

Local models will sport styles from a num-ber of Marysville-area merchants, and many of the clothing items on display will come from larger stores.

Models will wear clothing from Walmart, JCPenny, Kohl’s and Fred Meyer. The Tux Shoppe will be represented on the catwalk again this year and, as before, a number of Seattle Premium Outlet stores are also slated to participate.

Other contributors to the event include Details Home Decor & Gifts, Attic Secrets Tea Room, Linda’s Adult Family Home, Locals Espresso, Monica Berginc Photography, Curves, Cindy Chavez of Mary Kay Cosmetics, and Desert Sun Tanning Salon.

Hors d’oeuvres, appetizers and dessert will be provided by Pacific Northwest Catering. Music will be provided by Ted Wright, of Gary Wright Realty and Coldwell Banker.

Tickets for the fashion show are $20 apiece, including food, and can be purchased by call-ing the Maryfest office at 360-659-7664

Funtastic Shows has been deliv-ering the “world’s finest carnival” since 1985 and it will visit the Marysville Strawberry Festival once again this year, from June 16-19.

Marysville Middle School will be the venue, as usual, and the carni-val hours will run until 10 p.m. on June 16 and 17, until 11 p.m. on June 18 and until 5 p.m. on June 19. Opening times for each day will depend on the weather.

Attendees can expect rides on

the ferris wheel, merry-go-round, scrambler and octopus, and will also be able to take part in carnival games and other attractions.

The Strawberry Festival Royalty are slated to make an appearance or two at the carnival, but dates and times have not yet been deter-mined.

Those looking to take part in the carnival would be wise to look for coupons and discounted tickets at local businesses.

This year’s Marysville Strawberry Festival Rose Planting cere-mony continues on in the venue it gained last year.

The annual cere-mony — a tradition to commemorate the friendship between the Strawberry Festival and the Northwest Festival Hosting Association — will take place at 10 a.m., on June 18, at Totem Middle School,

located at 1605 Seventh St. in Marysville.

During the ceremo-ny, which is slated to take about an hour, representatives from the Portland Royal Rosarians will plant roses in honor of indi-viduals in the commu-nity.

This free event is open to all ages and light refreshments will be offered afterward.

The ceremony began

in 2001. It had previ-ously taken place at the “Red Caboose,” which was located at the cor-ner of Cedar Avenue and Fourth Street, but a fire in the summer of 2009 caused organizers to move the event to the middle school.

“They actually made a rose garden at Totem for us,” said Erica Bargmeyer, who orga-nized the event last year.

The Marysville Strawberry Festival Talent Show will return to the stage of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School audito-rium at 6:30 p.m. on June 16.

Talent Show Director Marcy Giesler explained that the judges for the talent show will all be different from the judges who sat in on the auditions on May 16-17, to avoid any poten-tial biases.

The event is designed to

showcase the skills of vocalists, dancers, instrumentalists and other performers, from 4-year-olds on up to all ages of adults, and will award the first-, sec-ond- and third-place winners in each category. The categories are divided up by age groups and talents. Last year’s Talent Show packed 30 competitors into the M-PHS auditorium to show an audience of close to 500 what they could do.

Performers in previous years have included pianists, violin-ists, guitar players, belly-danc-ers, aspiring stand-up comedi-ans, and both a jug band and a harpist last year, the latter of whom was named the over-all winner of the 2010 Talent Show.

Giesler noted that it’s not uncommon to see first-time participants in the Talent Show sharing the stage with return-ing performers, although she added that making it into the Talent Show in previous years is no guarantee that you’ll be featured again.

“The talent that’s out there just gets better and better every year,” Giesler said.

The M-PHS auditorium is located at 5611 108th St. NE in Marysville, and doors open at 5:30 p.m. before the Talent Show starts.

Tickets are being pre-sold for $4 and will go for $5 at the door, and children under 7 years old will be admitted for free.

The race may have changed, but the competitive spirit is still very much intact at the annual Adult Trike Race at Asbery Field.

The more-than-50-year-old com-petition, which is slated for June 17 at 7 p.m. on its usual hallowed ground at Asbery Field, features a little bit of everything, from modi-fied trikes to a swimming pool full of strawberry jello.

But that’s not how it always start-ed, as the trike race was originally a pub crawl on wheels, with loggers riding from one pub to the next along Speight Avenue.

With an average of 10-14 teams of four usually partaking in a course that takes anywhere from 90 sec-onds to three minutes per lap, spectators get their fill of enter-tainment at this mainstay of the Strawberry Festival.

“One full lap is about an eighth of a mile,” Jodi Hiatt, Maryfest

board member said. “Of course, it seems like 10 miles when you’re rid-ing your trike through it.”

That’s because this is no straight-forward track. As many as 10 obsta-cles and activities await the partici-pants, which range from simple feats, such as making basketball shots, to the most popular attraction, jump-ing in and touching the bottom of an above-ground swimming pool full of strawberry jello.

“Rotary does an absolutely won-derful job of setting this up every year,” Hiatt said.

Trike racers must be at least 18 years old and pay $10 each to par-ticipate.

There’s lots to do, see at Market

The Jello Pit is a favorite obstacle for both the trike riders and the spectators.

Jodi Hiatt, Maryfest board member, prom-ised attendees of this year’s Market in Asbery Field that plen-ty of familiar favor-ites and new features alike would be on site through the weekend of June 17-19.

“We’ve got lots of returning vendors, plus a few more activities,” Hiatt said. “Of course, the bouncy house and the rock-climbing wall will be back. We’ll also have a mechanical bull and a bike that goes right when you turn its handles left, and vice versa. The owner has a bet that nobody can ride it 10 feet without crashing,” she laughed.

As always, the Market also showcases artis-tic talent in the form of many area crafters, whose handmade prod-

ucts have ranged from wood puzzles to house-wares such as kitchen towels and pot-holders over the years.

More than 90 ven-dors will be descending upon Asbery Field this year, with food vendors including Woodfire Pizza making their debut at the Market, and offering everything from bratwurst to fro-zen treats.

“This year, the Marysville Community Food Bank will have collection barrels scat-tered throughout the Market,” Hiatt said. “From 4-7 p.m. on June 18, the day of the Grand Parade, they’ll be col-

lecting food donations from along the parade route as well. People in need aren’t just hungry on Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

The Market will run from 2-9 p.m. on June 17, from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on June 18 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 19 at Asbery Field.

On June 18, Asbery Field will also serve as the site for the Emerald City Car Club Car Show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., as well as the Strawberry Festival’s annual Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest from 1-3 p.m.

“With the Kiddies Parade, you never know how many participants you might have,” Carol Kapua said. “We could have anywhere between 100-500 kids show up.”

With no pre-registration before its registration and setup time from 4-5 p.m. — followed by judging from 5-5:45 p.m., the parade lineup starting at 5:45 p.m. and the parade proper starting at 6 p.m. — the Kiddies Parade on July 18 offers a host of surprises each year, as entrants ranging from individuals to groups of 20 or more sign up for one of five categories.

“We have categories for individu-als and groups, both in costumes,” Kapua said. “We also have an ‘ani-mals’ category for pets from dogs to horses that people want to dress up, and for ‘floats,’ although those can’t have motors. The ‘wheels’ category includes everything from bicycles to wagons.”

Each of the five categories of entrants has its own staging area at the start of the Kiddies Parade route, at Totem Middle School on Seventh Street. The parade heads south on State Avenue until it reach-es Fifth Street, at which point awards are given to all the participants in

Comeford Park.“We give trophies to the first-place

winners and ribbons to everyone else,” Kapua said. “Everyone walks away a winner.”

Kapua delights in seeing the com-binations of colors and designs that each year’s crop of children comes up with, and believes the event is as much fun for parents and grandpar-ents as it is for their children.

“It becomes a family activity,” Kapua said. “It gives the kids a chance to show off their imagina-tions. Plus, it’s conveniently close to the Market in Asbery Field.”

Kiddies Parade is fun for all

The Grand Parade on June 18 struggles to stay within its two-hour-plus running time each year, which is why its upper limit is slightly more than 120 entrants.

“We want to give everyone a chance to be on TV,” Carol Kapua said. “We’re also lim-ited in how long we can keep Fourth Street closed, since it is a state highway.”

The Grand Parade officially starts at 7:45 p.m. on 76th Street, to ensure that entrants are rolling southbound on State Avenue in front of the TV cameras by 8 p.m. With any luck, the parade wraps up on Third Street and Alder Avenue by 10 p.m., just in time for the half-hour fireworks show.

Kapua reported that high school and junior high marching bands from the Marysville and

Lakewood school dis-tricts would be joined by others from as far away as Seattle and Tacoma, and that a host of both commercial and community orga-nizations have already entered more than 20 floats for this year’s parade.

The annual Straw-berry Festival Fireworks Show is once again slat-ed to light up the sky on June 18 following the Grand Parade at 10

p.m.Fred Meyer, which

has sponsored the fire-works show since 2002, is once again bringing this pyrotechnic show to Marysville.

The fireworks will be launched high enough so that they can be seen from many parts of the city.

People who attend the Grand Parade can stay where they are as State Avenue is a great place to see the show.

Grand Parade always popular
