Florida Strawberry Festival
This past weekend Linda and I escorted visiting students Marina and Sachiko to the Strawberry festival in Plant City (near Tampa.) I thought we had been to this big event way back when we moved to Florida in the 80's, but Linda corrected me. This was our first time. The draw for us was a 4pm outdoor concert by Nashville star Trace Adkins, and he put on quite a show in front of at least 10,000 fans. Most of the crowd, including us, were seated in bleachers, and I really really missed the binoculars -- we left them in the car which was parked a long ways away. However, we charged down front during the encore to get a close up look at the singer, and he's pretty damn impressive; about 6'6" with arms the size of my thighs. It was a good show.
