It was a glorious day,
warm (hot to us) and sunny. We drove down to the Plant City Strawberry
Festival.
It is a county fair.
Lots of agricultural bits, with craft and cooking competitions.
As with many of these fairs the commercial side has grown and the community side has diminished. Lots of concession stands and a big funfair. We enjoyed looking at the decorated cakes and Sally enjoyed the quilting, tapestry and needlepoint (crosstitch).
There were several ‘events’, however they had switched the Little Richard Concert from the Thursday to the Wednesday, so I was slightly disappointed and the Hog Racing was packed out, so I was deeply disappointed.
However, by 3.30 we had both had enough and came back home via the Lakeland Square Mall. Where we finally bought ourselves some mobile phones (Virgin) and had a meal at the food court. It was what they called Chinese food - fried rice, Bourbon Chicken (?), Orange Chicken and Chinese mixed vegetables. But it was the same as the Tokyo Express, Perry’s BBQ as well as China Max were selling! Still it tasted reasonable, was more than enough for 2 of us and with a cup of tea and a coke came to $10.48.
So far in our 4 days of holiday, just doing bits and pieces we have done 279 miles.
