Strawberries in the Park

It's back! Come join the Friends of the Eckhart Public Library on July 1st as they serve up Strawberry Shortcake and family-friendly fun for a great cause! This year we will be hosting a downtown daytime shortcake pickup (by presale ticket only), and then teaming up with First Fridays to host the first-come, first serve shortcake event at the Eckhart Public Library in the evening. All profits will be used to buy books for the library!
