Photojournalism: Mead Hall Strawberry Festival

AIKEN — The strawberries may have sold out quickly at Mead Hall April 22, but there were plenty of activities to keep the strawberry festival going.

Even after the fresh strawberries disappeared, volunteers were still scooping out
strawberry ice-cream, strawberry short-cake and strawberry short-cake with strawberry ice
cream on top.

Activities included a train and a rock climbing wall and a few authors signed their books.

The event is a fundraiser for the school..
