Florida Strawberry Festival is here.
Ripe Strawberries, Whipped Cream and Cake…need I say more?
The Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City near Tampa, Florida is in full swing. Where else can you eat chocolate dipped strawberries, watch livestock being judged, hear the Charlie Daniel’s band and watch Robinson’s Paddling Porkers race on any given day? Exactly!
The Festival started in 1930 and has grown into an amazing slice of Americana. It’s like a county fair, music concert, 4-H expo and flea market all rolled into one for 11 glorious days and you still have time to get there. Fly, drive or crawl but you can’t miss this nostalgic gathering filled with corn dogs, midway rides, contests, music, shows, animals, merchandise and did I mention Strawberries? Y’all come!
Here’s a tip: for the best prices and selection of strawberry related items seek out the local service clubs and their fundraising booths. You’ll mostly find these in and around the Parke Building. The festival ends March 9, 2008.
