Welcome!

My name is Shelby Hintze and I am the 2009-2010 Strawberry Festival Queen. On behalf of myself and the Strawberry Festival Court, welcome to Strawberry Festival! This is the 78^th year of the festival and it is shaping up to be the best yet!

I am so very excited to be part of the festival. We have all had so much fun so far, traveling to other festivals and representing Marysville. I definitely cannot wait for our hometown festival.

I would like to introduce you to our 2009 parade Grand Marshal, Mary Kirkland, owner of Hilton’s Pharmacy on 3^rd street. Mary is a lifelong Marysville resident and has been involved in Strawberry Festival since she was a toddler. She is very deserving of this title and we are very excited to have her as our Grand Marshal.

I would like to thank the entire Strawberry Festival board for all their hard work. I never realized how much work went into creating our festival. It is mind-blowing. So if you see anyone in a red blazer during festival, stop them and say thanks!

I would also like to thank all of sponsors and volunteers. We could not do it without you!

I hope to see you all at Strawberry Festival, the third week in June and at the Grand Parade on June 20^th. We have a wide range of activities going on during the week. From the Fashion Show to the Trike Races to the Talent Show, there is something for everyone!

As Strawberry Festival President, I would like to wish you a wonderful welcome to the 2009 Marysville Strawberry Festival, "A Magical Fantasy..."

I am excited to be the 2008-2009 Strawberry Festival President. I have been a Board Member for 6 years and served many committees such as the Pageant, Hospitality and I have been a Royalty Chaperone, just to name a few. There is a amazing amount of pride I take in volunteering with the Festival and being this year's President couldn't make me more proud.

A big "Thank You!" to all of the Board Members, volunteers and sponsors, for all of their hard work and donations. Without you we wouldn't be able to make the annual Strawberry Festival a success year after year.

The Strawberry Festival and I are excited to invite you, your family and your firends to another amazing 10 days of Fun, Entertainment and Events!

Thank you again for all of your support and have a great time with us!

Bobbi Young

2009 President

Dear Friends and Visitors,

As Mayor, I invite you and your family to create fun and lasting memories during the 78^th Annual Marysville Strawberry Festival and Twilight Grand Parade. This is a magical time of the year in Marysville when we celebrate the annual harvest of sweet red, delicious berries that are a colorful part of our community’s rich agricultural heritage. It's also a chance to join the thousands of families who come to enjoy the full spectacle of fun, food and events spread over several days - you're sure to find an activity to conjure up your own magical moments.

The Strawberry Festival has something for everyone - delectable strawberry delights, including the colorful processions of the Twilight Grand Parade and Kiddies Parade, Market in the Park, live music, the frolicsome Adult Trike races at Asbery Field, dizzying carnival rides, scrumptious fair food and lip-smacking strawberry strawberry shortcake, a fashion show, talent show, talent show, rose-planting ceremony and a new event, Kid's Party in the Park and much more.

The real magic of the Strawberry Festival is that it brings people together as a community and extends that feeling to visitors to make everyone feel like they belong.

So bring an appetite fro fun to one of the longest-running and most widely recognized Strawberry Festivals across the nation.

We welcome you!

On behalf of the Tulalip Tribes, welcome to the 78th Annual Marysville/Tulalip Strawberry Festival. The Tulalip people take great pride in our strong partnership with Marysville during this event. Our sense of community stems back to the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855 which brought a number of villages together on tribal lands adjacent to Marysville.

Together as friends and neighbors we hope this Festival offers a peek at the entertainment culture, hiustory and sense of community our area offers. During festivities we invite you to visit our nationally acclaimed Tulalip Resort Casino, outlaet mall, amphitheatre and restaurants on the Westside of I-5. Enjoy your stay and please come back soon!
