We went to the Plant City Strawberry Festival today. Our taste buds were all ready for a yummy strawberry extravaganza. Sadly we were very disappointed. The "Strawberry Festival" seems to have little to do with strawberries. Yes, there were a few booths selling jewelry shaped like strawberries, a couple obligatory FFA displays of how strawberries are grown, and you could buy strawberries if you were so inclined. Personally, the thought of walking around for the day carrying a flat of strawberries seemed quite inconvenient. We did buy a strawberry shortcake which was very good.
Really what this event should be called is heart attack waiting to happen. The majority of the fairgrounds were taken up by carnival rides and deep fried food. Deep fried butter...really? How about a deep fried Pepsi to wash that down? Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely turning my nose up at the art of deep fried sweets. I personally have a soft spot for deep fried Oreo's. However, this was the STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL! Fortunately, I do know where to go for yummy delicious strawberries...the grocery store.
