A SWEET DAY FOR SAUGUS

A TASTE OF SUMMER: Joanie Allbee, a member of the Saugus Garden Club and Saugus Historical Society, is shown during last year’s Annual Strawberry Festival squirting whipped cream onto a strawberry shortcake that she prepared. Allbee, along with other servers wearing old-fashioned bonnets, dished out more than 250 strawberry shortcakes last year. They hope to do even better tomorrow (Saturday, June 18), when the Historical Society holds its popular event at Legion Hall in conjunction with the Saugus Garden Club plant sale. Please see inside for more details in this week’s “The Sounds of Saugus” and “Saugus Gardens in the Spring.” (Saugus Advocate photo by Tara Vocino).
