It’s a big get-together for lunch and dessert in Shelbyville’s downtown Friday.

Two annual events have merged to make for a good meal. The City Of Shelbyville hosts its Government Day Lunch while Shelby Senior Services holds its annual Strawberry Festival.

Both events begin at 11 a.m.

Koehl says the Senior Services event is as much about relationships as it is fundraising.

The Strawberry Festival has its downtown site but it also serves at a site at Major Health Partners.
