Strawberry Festival: Free for military March 4, discounts through March 8


The Florida Strawberry Festival is kind of like the Florida State Fair-- except it's in Plant City and features...well, strawberries. Lots of strawberries. But you'll still find rides, games, shows, exhibits and the kind of (non-strawberry) fair food you'd expect. There are musicians, comedy acts, a lumberjack show and even racing pigs. Yes, racing pigs. I've seen it, so don't knock it 'till you've tried it.

While acts like Randy Travis, Jeff Foxworthy and Kool & The Gang require a separate charge, there's certainly enough to check out for free without having to pay for any shows. Most of the entertainment is included with paid admission.

The admission price is reasonable, too-- $10. But to make it even better, get your tickets at any Sweetbay location and save $2. I'm not saying $10 is bad, but $8 is better. And $0 is even better than that-- on Wednesday, March 4 all active and retired military get in for free.

The festival is located at 2202 W. Reynolds Street in Plant City. It runs through March 8 so check it out while you can. For more information, call 813-754-4297 or visit www.flstrawberryfestival.com.
