2004
22nd year
More changes and growth occurred for the festival during this very hectic year. Assistant queen’s director Kelly Maynard & treasurer Melissa McClelland resigned.
The entertainment committee again opted for national country recording artist, Kevin Sharp and the 1960’s group The Four Mints. They also included many local artists and youth entertainers. The queens program expanded once more by adding the Mr Shortcake division. The float was also redecorated and enlarged. In addition to the queens luncheon a reception was held for the new court. The attendance for 2004 was just over 27,000 for the week. This is the largest recorded attendance for the festival despite having rain on Thursday. The COBRA car event continued to draw very well and we were a stop on the Cable TV station The Outdoor Network as well as local radio stations K95FM and WCYC 105.1 FM
The London Strawberry Festival Board decided to involve more community organizations and activities during this year’s event.
