The 2019 Maine Strawberry Pageant was held July 28 during the Pittston Fair. After a few months of volunteering, interviews and community service at the fair, judges were able to select the winners, who will spend the next year representing the Pittston Fair and the community at various events. Twenty-two girls competed in three categories. Winners in front, from left, Sophia Carlson of Gardiner (Strawberry Blossom runner-up) and Charlotte Garloff of Pittston (2019 Maine Strawberry Blossom).
