The Strawberry Festival!!!

Hey yall,

After work today, I walked down the road to visit the Strawberry Festival. The Strawberry Festival was established in 1972, celebrates the hard work of the farmers who bring in the strawberry crops every year. Several organizations, clubs, and craft venders put booths with food, games, crafts, and oddities. Abby Earles was crowned as this year's Strawberry Queen.

While traveling through the festival, I looked through many of the food options. For those who are wondering, when the sign says alligator or shark meat on a stick, they mean it! People in Louisiana eat food that is very different than other parts of the country. But truth be told, they both taste like chicken... just more expensive.









I then stumbled across a stand selling strawberry beignets. A beignet is a deep fried square pastry made from choux dough. Beignets are usually covered in powdered sugar but these also had a strawberry syrup drizzled on top. It was delicious!

Several craftsmen brought their paintings, woodwork, homemade jams, etc. A few years back, I purchased homemade strawberry preserves. It was the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. If you ever have a chance to try it, I highly recommend it.

One of the craftsmen was a caricature artist. My mom and dad had a picture of them done when they were younger and I had always admired it. So, I decided to have my face drawn. As goofy as the picture looks, I adore it! Especially since I have CLEAVAGE! It took me 23 years and caricature artist, but I finally have boobs! The artist, Andrew Wilkie, shall be praised for my unexpected boob job. XD

He has a website, if you want to order yourself a caricature, click here.

P.S. I have finally hit 100 page views! Thank you!
