Duplin Celebrates
Strawberry Season
Strawberry season was
once a celebrated event in
Duplin County, and straw
berries were once a major
crop in the area.
The town of Wallace began
a week-long festival in cele
bration of strawberries
during 1935. The county
farmers grew strawberries as
one of their major produce
crops during the 1980s.
Crates of strawberries had a
market value of about $1.75
during the mid-1930s. May |
was the major harvest season <
and the month in which the
strawberry festival was held. 1
During the 1936 Straw
berry Festival, promoter J. i
Aubrey Harrell, mayor of
Wallace, predicted a turnout
of 16,000 people. As publi
city. the mavor, accompanied
by 22 young girls and 11
adults, traveled throughout
eastern North Carolina in
automobiles. The first day of
the motorcade was spent
enroute to Raleigh via
Goldsboro and Fayetteville.
The second day was spent
traveling to the towns of
Wilmington, Whiteville and
Lumberton. The final day
included visits to the towns
of Kinston, Snow Hill, Farm
ville and Wilson. The motor
cate was escorted by two
highway patrolmen and re
ceived in each town by the
local mayor and police chief.
Not only did the motorcade
stop in the large towns men
tioned above, but the Duplin
folds stopped to publicize the
festival in the small towns
and crossroads!
The festival of 1936 in
cluded more than a regular
celebration with a dance,
queen and exhibits ? this
festival included a wedding.
The wedding was held in the
exhibit hall Thursday night
of the festival with Gladys
Sheffield of Wallace marry
ing Jack Parker.?The exhibit
hall and dance floor were
located in Blanchard's
Warehouse.
Concluding the festival on
Saturday night was a draw
ing for the festival grand
prize, a 1936 Chevrolet
:oach! Ticket holders bought
admission to the festival's
exhibits, closing night dance,
and entertainment by such
groups as Hal Thurston's
10-piece orchestra, and blues
singer, nine circus acts, in
cluding the famous acrobatic
act of Miss Millie Long, and
Si Stone and his educated
mule. Duplin citizens were
not to be laughed at for their
interest in a man and a
supposedly "educated
mule." Si Stone and mule
had appeared as a featured
attraction of the 1935 North
Carolina State Fair!
The days of strawberries
as a major produce crop for
Duplin farmers has long
passed, and new more
profitable ones have replaced
the berries. Among the re
placement crops farmers are
raising many types of poultry
and growing cucumers. and
an even newer crop to Duplin
farmers is grapes. However,
the strawberry crops are not
gone from Duplin County. In
almost each town, there is a
local pick-your-own straw
berry field which is open to
the public.
