Welcome!


Snohomish County Tourism Bureau		WELCOME! From Maryfest - Hello and welcome! My name is Kaija Wilcox, your 2010-2011 Marysville Strawberry Festival Queen. This is year 79 for the annual Festival and it keeps getting better each time. Princess Haley, Princess Ella and I are having a blast so far with the parades. But the one we’re looking forward to the most is the Strawberry Festival Grand Parade. The theme this year is Summertime Fun. I think this is especially appropriate because Marysville is going to have lots of entertaining things to do at the festival. I’d like to thank all of the volunteers and sponsors of the Marysville Strawberry Festival. Without them, all of this wouldn’t be possible. It’s a tradition that the whole community looks forward to and they’re responsible for making it happen. We are grateful for all they do. On behalf of the Royalty Court, we look forward to seeing you as representatives of Marysville at the Grand Parade. It’s going to be GREAT! 2010-2011 Queen Kaija Wilcox Dear Friends and Visitors, Welcome to the 79^th Annual Marysville Strawberry Festival, “Summertime Fun”! I am so excited to be able to invite you and your families to join us June 11^th through 20^th for a week of events I am sure you will enjoy. Our volunteers have been working very hard to make this week memorable for everyone that attends. The Strawberry Festival has something for everyone from the Grand Parade to the Kiddies Parade, the Market in the Park to the Carnival, the Adult Trike Races to Kids Day and much, much more! A big THANK YOU to all the board members and volunteers for all their planning and hard work they have put into this year’s festival. Also to the City of Marysville, Tulalip Tribes, and all our sponsors THANK YOU for helping to make this year outstanding! I hope you will be able to come and enjoy all the food, events, and “Summertime Fun” that this year’s festival has to offer. Angie Miller, 2010-2011 President Maryfest From the City of Marysville - Dear Friends and Visitors, The community of Marysville welcomes you and the entire family to start off your season of summertime fun at the 79th Marysville Strawberry Festival and Twilight Grand Parade. The Strawberry Festival is a yearly celebration of the annual berry harvest and the colorful role these delectable berries have played as a part of Marysville's rich agricultural heritage. We invite you 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 event that inspires you to put the fun in your summertime family activities. The Strawberry Festival is about bringing people together as a community and passing along that sense of belonging to all visitors. So bring an appetite for summertime fun to one of the longest-running and most widely recognized Strawberry Festivals around the country. Dennis Kendall, Mayor (A Past-President of Maryfest) City of Marysville From the Tulalip Tribes - Dear Friends, On behalf of the Tulalip Tribes, welcome to the 79th 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, history and sense of community our area offers. During festivities we invite you to visit our nationally acclaimed Tulalip Resort Casino, outlet mall, amphitheatre and restaurants on the west side of I-5. Enjoy your stay and please come back soon! *Mel Sheldon, Jr., Chairman* The Tulalip Tribes
