STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL

                 STRAWBERRY FEST 
              PLANT CITY, FLORIDA
After getting lost for about 1/2 hour we finally arrived at the gates.  The signs we followed pointed straight/the guy at the gas station said to turn left/my navigator said follow the signs/we turned around after several miles and turned where the gas station guy said to turn!  Oh well, the friends we were meeting were patiently waiting, watching all the senior citizens going through the gates.   
Our first stop was to get a strawberry shortcake ~ very yummy, topped with whipped cream and a strawberry! 
Strawberry Fest turned out to be a smaller version of Wisconsin's State Fair, with pictures of strawberries put up here and there.  We watched Jay Taylor, country singer and then went to the Tanya Tucker Concert.  She put on a wonderful show and her daughters got into the act/each singing a couple of songs.  The eleven year old (yes, Tanya Tucker has an eleven year old!) sang with gusto and she will one day be a great country singer!  
Her older daughter sang with her own style.

Joe remembered his hat/Fred didn't.
The kindergarten teacher in me made Fred a newspaper hat, to keep the sun off his head!
