Strawberry Festival

The weekend before last Michael, Murphy, and I went out to London, Ohio for their annual Strawberry Festival. 

When you turn onto the street that cuts through the middle of their downtown all the vendors are lined up.  There were stands full of homemade goodies.  Tye dyed t-shirts, beaded earrings, dresses, purses, belts with buckles bigger than Murphy Man, and so much more. 

As soon as we arrived we bought a strawberry lemonade ice drink.  It helped to keep us all cool in the 90 degree weather.

While we wondered from tent to tent I found these beauties!  They are breast cancer awareness earrings.  The center bead has a pink ribbon on it.  

Next we moved on down the street to look at all the hot rods.  

Once we had seen everything we found the tent where they had picnic tables set up.  We found a spot with another family and dug in.  I had an egg roll.  I know, I know, 90 degrees and I have a steaming hot egg roll but it was rockin'!  Michael grabbed a footlong hot dog and some french fries.  

All of us shared the strawberry shortcake.  They put a hug piece of shortcake in the bottom of a bowl  and then heap vanilla ice cream, strawberries and whipped cream on top.  I had it almost devoured before Michael finished his hot dog.  Ooops!  "Lay off me I'm starving! Diet starts Monday!" Hee hee! 

Anywhoo, we had a great afternoon just the three of us and I hope tin find more things like this for us to do during the rest of the summer! 

Have you all found any festivals in your area to go check out?
