The Troy Strawberry Festival Committee announces the Troy Strawberry Festival theme and logo. The 2013 theme will be “A Magical Place.”

The theme was selected by Jon Dankworth the Troy Strawberry Festival 2013 General Chairman.  The festival theme and logo represents not only Jon’s deep appreciation for fantasy literature, but also for the City of Troy and all of Miami County being a truly “magical place” to live and volunteer. Jon’s hope is that anyone who sees this logo will be able to pause and consider the magical qualities of our town and festival.

The logo shows a strawberry placed within an antiqued crest, similar to a royal coat of arms, topped with a crown.  The logo brings to mind images of the medieval time period and magic represented in many forms of literature that Dankworth enjoys reading.

Dankworth is a Troy native who graduated from Troy High School is 1984 and attended The Ohio State University and Bluffton University. Dankworth has dedicated 25-years of his life to technology and is currently Director of Managed Services at PERRY proTECH and resides in Troy with wife Susan and children Jonathan, Olivia, and Taylor.

The festival dates are June 1 & 2, 2013. The festival began as a way for local Clubs and Organizations to raise funds for their endeavors and remains the mission of the Troy Strawberry Festival today. This year the local non-profit groups were able to raise over $400,000 for their organizations.  Visit the Strawberry Festival website www.Gostrawberries.com for more updates.
