University College and the Department of Recreation Services invite all students, faculty and
staff to take part in the 2009 Strawberry Festival on Friday, June 12, from 11:30 a.m.-1:30
p.m. This year's event will be student-centered and offer a radio broadcast, a sidewalk chalk
art contest and a farmer's market, as well as the annual Strawberry Fun Run and Walk.
The walk and uncertified run will begin at noon on the Quad and will proceed along
Comstock Avenue to Oakwood Morningside Cemetery and back to the Quad. All
participants in the walk and run will be eligible for several raffle prizes. Event prizes and
raffles will be awarded on the steps of Hendricks Chapel following the walk. To register,

The Strawberry Festival is a tradition that offers students, faculty and staff an opportunity to
learn about the many services provided by campus departments and offices through the
service "trade show."
Strawberry sundae tickets are $4 pre-event. Tickets for sundaes are on sale June 8-11 in the
Carrier Dome Concession office. Send an I.D. with ticket delivery instructions, including a
room number, to Carole Harris, or stop by Carrier Dome Concessions after June 1.
In case of rain, the walk and run will be held as planned. The "trade show" of University
departments will be held on the Quad as planned, and the chalk art contest will take place in
the Huntington-Beard-Crouse Hall lobby. Desserts only will be served on the patio of HBC
(no picnic food).
