Volunteers wanted for LaSalle strawberry cleaning

Everything is just about set for another edition of a Windsor-Essex tradition.

Organizers have said that the only thing left to do is to invite volunteers to clean the massive amount of strawberries that visitors to the LaSalle Strawberry Festival will enjoy.

The festival runs Thursday through Sunday at the Vollmer Complex.

If you're interested in helping with the cleaning, just show up beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Event Centre on Front Road.

High school students may earn volunteer hours.

The LaSalle Strawberry Festival Parade is set for Saturday, stepping off at 10 a.m. on Front Road at Old Front Road. The procession will end at Sacred Hart Drive.

Streets perpendicular to Front Road between Old Front Road and Sacred Heart Drive will close at 9:30 a.m. and reopen around 10:45 a.m.

Entertainment this year includes the Miss LaSalle Pageant on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. on the main stage followed by River Honey at 9:30 p.m. On Friday, Carson Janik will perform at 8:30 p.m.

On Saturday, visitors will be treated to Taylor's Story, a Taylor Swift tribute show, at 6:30 p.m. on the main stage, followed by Trio de Janeiro at 9 p.m.

Leave Those Kids Alone is scheduled to perform on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
