STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL KIMMSWICK, MISSOURI 2009

I posted about the annual Strawberry Festival in an earlier post. The town is packed with vendors. The next several posts have photos of the town, several shops and vendors, including the 2 I had at my shop Antiques Galore Gal. Visitors are shuttled into town and then taken back to their cars after a fun day of shopping and eating. We had a storm Sunday afternoon. Not as bad as predicted, the bad winds did not come. Most people stayed, which was good for all the vendors that worked so hard to set up their tents.

THE DOUGH DEPOT

You can find the Dough Depot located at 216 Market Street, Kimmswick, Missouri.
Inside you will find a wonderful sit down resturant and old style candy and sweet shop always filled with homemade goodies! Pick from a list of snacks, pizza, sandwiches and salads, all served freshly made. Thankfully, they deliver food to all the shop owners come rain or shine! There is an outdoor window and tables set up on a patio for all the shoppers. The Kimmswick Kooler (frozen lemonade and vanilla ice cream blended together) is a favorite of everyone who tries it!



During the Strawberry Festival a booth is set up outside for the tens of thousands of visitors. You will find lines all the way to the street!



There is a gift shop inside filled to the brim with dough ornaments. Gingerbread is my favorite, but you can fine any theme you want. There are sports, teachers, nurses, doctors, fishermen and all Holidays just to name a few.
