Strawberry Festival Holiday Delight On Courthouse Square

Coudersport New Century Club continued its Independence Day holiday tradition this year, holding a Strawberry Festival at the courthouse square. Proceeds from the sale of strawberry shortcake and sundaes will be used for the club’s community service programs. Here, Karen Mitman dishes out the delicacy to an eager customer.

Long-time festival volunteers Ilene Altenhein and Donna Lehman were once again on duty. Coudersport octogenarian Tom Leete, who has a long history of community service, also stepped in to help out club members. Stan Swank and Tim Foust from Jubilee Foods assisted with set-up.

One of the New Century Club’s most ambitious project has been the courthouse square gazebo. The club has unveiled an ambitious plan to renovate the gazebo, including repairs and the installation of a ceiling that will improve acoustics. (Photo by Lugene Heimel)
