Strawberry Fest June 15th

One of my favorite events of the year is the local Strawberry Fest! We have gone every year since we moved to town. This year we had a group of friends who decided to tag along, which made it even more fun than years prior. We first started with walking around the fair to shop at all the booths and indulge in all the different fair foods offered. We didn't find anything that we wanted to buy from the booths, but I did manage to stuff my face with one of those to-die-for hand dipped corn dogs. I could literally eat 100 of those bad boys. Before heading to the parade, we loaded up on donuts, elephant ears and cheesecake filled strawberries. Don't judge us.

We got our chairs set out and quickly sat down so that we could stuff our faces with all the yummy desserts that we picked out. Some more friends found us at the parade and sat with us to enjoy the festivities. The parade lasts well over two hours and has a large variety of different floats, cars, clowns and pirates. BOOM! That pirate ship gets me every time. It gets a little chilly when the sun goes down so we walk over to the coffee stand and get a forty two ounce hot chocolate. Not kidding. It is warm and delicious! After the parade is over, the city puts on a firework show to end the night off with a bang. <-- see what I did there?
