Cottage Grove Lions Club

Our last night at Cottage Grove Strawberry Fest! Weather looks like it’s moved on and we’re in for a clear and perfect night! Stone Daisy on now, Them Pesky Kids at 8! Every dollar spent at our tent goes right back into CG!

It’s Cottage Grove Strawberry Fest week! 🍓🍺

Don’t let the weather scare you… we’ll be there rain or shine (and tent covered!) Jam out to the awesome bands with us, drink a nice cold beverage, and support your community at the same time!

See you starting Thursday at Kingston Park!
