Strawberry Festival





What a waste of time that was. They didn't even have FUNNEL CAKES! We were all ticked about that. I guess Lineberger's puts the thing on since they were the ONE vendor selling strawberries, and there wasn't anything else even strawberry themed unless you count the waffles that you could put strawberries on!

The "Army" was there, Fire Department and someone that must have emptied the contents of GRANDMA's house to have a yard sale. There were a few (meaning maybe 3) crafts people there, and I think there were 2 bouncy houses that you had to pay to get into (and be under a certain age too). Started raining just as we were pulling out of the parking lot.

We had gone the year we first moved here and dragged our friends with us. I was embarrassed then dragging our friends to this by the lack of stuff, but this year was even worse!

And maybe I am getting old but the music was WAY Too loud...maybe if they had to cover an entire school parking lot with music I might be able to understand it needing to be loud-but with maybe 20 "vendors" there in their 12x12 spots right next to each other it was just WAY TOO LOUD. But I guess compared to that first year we went, where they had a Teenage band playing where all they did was YELL into the microphones and you couldn't even understand what was being said...this year was better.

The half flat of strawberries was $8.
