Continuing a long-standing tradition, the Caribou Kiwanis Club will once again be offering their famous strawberry shortcakes on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 12-13, during the Caribou Cares About Kids celebration.
Caribou Kiwanis member Mary Beth Francis puts the finishing touch on a strawberry shortcake during the club’s annual summer fund-raiser held in conjunction with last year’s Caribou Cares About Kids weekend.
On Friday, Aug. 12, Kiwanians will be serving up their delicious creations beginning at 4 p.m. just inside Teague Park near the small building. Following the parade, which starts at 6 pm., the traditional tasty treats will continue to be available as kids and families get ready to settle in at the park for Movie Night which begins at 8 p.m.
Kiwanis members will reappear in the park Saturday morning at 10, where they will once again demonstrate their culinary craft creating mountainous desserts from biscuits, fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
The shortcakes will be $3.50 each. Also offered during both days at the Kiwanis location will be grilled hotdogs for $1. Chips, water and other beverages will also be available at an additional cost.
All proceeds from the annual strawberry shortcake event go to support local youth programs and other Kiwanis activities including the club’s annual holiday dinners provided for senior citizens.
