Elwood City Strawberry Festival

It's the biggest holiday of the year... Well, at least the biggest holiday this week.The Elwood City Strawberry Festival is an Elwood City celebration that takes place annually, first appearing in How the Cookie Crumbles. There are many different events during the festival, including a parade.

David Read had described it as "the biggest holiday of the year" until [D.W. started asking questions. He then changed it to "of this week." It was revealed by Grandma Thora that the festival had always been David's favourite holiday. She had also said that there were always as many strawberries as you can eat.

The Strawberry Dessert Contest takes place at the Sugar Bowl. Muffy had desired winning in How the Cookie Crumbles because last year, others had said that she only won because her dad was the judge. She wanted to prove that she won fairly and not because of her dad, this statement had put a lot of pressure onto her. Muffy did eventually win again, thanks to her friends who had jokingly made a batch of cookie dough.
