About the image:
Starting in 1890, strawberries were commercially grown on Vashon. They became such an important crop for island Farmers that a Strawberry Festival was held in 1909. By 1919, it became an annual event.
The festival has survived a lot over the years. It was suspended to help the war effort in the 1940s. It was renamed the Peach Festival in 1946—a name that was doomed by a peach blight in 1949. It then went through a series of names: the Vashon Festival, the Harvest Festival, and the Island Festival. But finally in 1984, despite the collapse of large-scale commercial strawberry farming on Vashon, the festival returned to its original namesake: The Strawberry Festival.
People will tell you there are no strawberries at the festival, but now you can point at this sticker and say, “Yes, there are.”
