Berry Dairy Days History

lthough it started as the “Strawberry Festival”, Berry Dairy Days has been a consistent part of the community for the past 81 years! Berry Dairy Days continues to celebrate Burlington’s history, agriculture, farming, traditions and community. In 1937, the first annual “Berry Dairy Days” was launched when the Burlington volunteer firefighters organized a fundraiser to purchase new equipment. The community event served as a fundraiser and a way to celebrate strawberry farming in Burlington. To add excitement and draw a crowd, they made a giant strawberry shortcake that was pulled down Fairhaven Avenue in red wagons. Pieces of the cake were handed to the crowd that had gathered to catch a glimpse of the shortcake. As the festival grew not only in size but in scope, in 1965 the event was handed over to the Burlington Chamber

of Commerce to continue the tradition. Then President Roger Hulbush, along with other community members, decided to re-name the festival “Berry Dairy Days” to reflect the growing influence of dairy business and ongoing strawberry farming in Burlington. Many community members have fond memories of Burlington Berry Dairy Day throughout the years. Duane Stowe is the owner of the second oldest business in Burlington, Stowe’s Shoes & Clothing. He remembers the local strawberry processing plant and the affect it had on the community. Roger Hulbush is the owner of the oldest business in Burlington, Hulbush Funeral Home. He recalls one of his many memories of the Berry Dairy Days Grand Parade: “It was about 1970 and local firefighters dressed up as clowns to help line up the parade participants and drove a convertible car in the parade.”

Berry Dairy Days is one of the oldest festivals in Skagit County. It still represents Burlington’s impressive agriculture and farming community. The Burlington Chamber has added many activities to this fun-filled weekend but the essence remains all these decades later with a Grand Parade, Festival in the Park and endless amounts of strawberry shortcake all weekend long. Join us for a weekend full of community events and strawberry shortcake!

Fred Stump Memorial Salmon Barbecue Friday, June 15, 5 - 9 p.m. | Saturday, June 16, 11:30 a.m. - 6 p.m.

he Fred Stump Memorial Salmon Barbeque is one of the Burlington Edison Kiwanis Club’s biggest annual fundraisers. The money raised goes to support Kiwanis Club’s charitable contributions including between $11,000 and $13,000 worth of scholarships to the Burlington-Edison High School ($13,000 was awarded in 2017), funding the Key Club (the high school chapter of Kiwanis) and various local senior and children’s charities and programs. About 1300 to 1500 pounds of salmon are served every year over the two day event. The meal includes char-broiled salmon with secret sauce, baked potato with sour cream and butter on the side, coleslaw, dinner roll, beverage and an orange/white Dixie cup ice cream. According to longtime Burlington resident Roger Hulbush, the secret sauce was invented in 1957 by his dad Walter. His dad made the sauce for years then passed duties on to Roger. Roger eventually asked his trusted cleaning lady to take over the sauce making only to find out that she left out a key ingredient for years. The cost of the meal is $13 for adults and $10 for kids under 12. There are three ways to enjoy the delicious salmon barbeque fundraiser: The Maiben Park barbeque at 1011 Greenleaf Ave. will be Saturday, June 16 from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Kiwanis

Club built the Maiben Park barbeque pit in the mid 1960s, specially for this event. The Friday night barbeque is at the Skagit River Park soccer fields. It will be on June 15 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. (or until sold out) to coincide with the live music and fireworks show. The Kiwanis Club built the barbeque pit at the Skagit River Park soccer fields in 2010 but began the Friday night barbeque in 2003. To-go meals are made for business owners who want to feed their employees and support the cause; orders are delivered to businesses on Saturday. Most years more than 150 meals are ordered! To purchase to-go meals please call Les Tokarchuk at 360-391-3721;

Event History The Burlington-Edison Kiwanis Club was founded on December 13, 1948 by Steve Johns; the club’s first president was Clarence Judy. The Kiwanis mission is to serve the children of the world one child, one family and one community at a time. The local chapter has always taken their mission seriously. The Salmon Barbeque was started by Kiwanis Club members in 1949 to raise money for the construction of a local community center; making this the 68th annual event! Raised in the Puyallup Valley, Fred Stump and his wife Betty moved to Burlington in the early 1960s for a partnership in the Skagit Animal Clinic. Fred joined Kiwanis at that time and became an enthusiastic promoter and participant of the salmon barbeque; many years he would sell over 200 tickets. Says his widow Betty Stump, “Fred had a way with people…you didn’t say no to Fred.” The fundraiser was renamed the Fred Stump Memorial Barbeque after he passed away in May, 1992. Betty still lives in Burlington and has many happy memories of attending the Berry Dairy Days Festival.
