STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL

THIS WEEKEND I WENT TO A WET STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL IN GUERNEVILLE. LUCKILY THEY HAD COVERED TARPS AND HAY FOR THE AUDIENCE AND THE BANDS. IT BEGAN TO RAIN AS I ENTERED THIS FREE EVENT. THEY HAD IT OUTSIDE AND THEY HAD COOKS AND FOOD. THEY HAD LARGE STRAWBERRIES YOU COULD DIP IN CHOCOLATE. THEY HAD A VARIETY OF FOODS TO EAT AND A GROUP OF EXHIBITORS. ONE WAS A PSYCHIC, A GROUP OF LADIES DRESSED IN CRAZY COSTUMES WITH STRAWBERRY HATS AND FAKE RED HAIR, A HUMAN SOCIETY TRUCK WITH DOGS AND CATS FOR SALE, A GROUP FROM THE MASTER GARDENERS, A RAFFLE, AND A GROUP SELLING STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

THEY HAD FOUR DIFFERENT BANDS OR MUSICIANS. THE FIRST ONE PLAYED JAZZ AND WAS VERY GOOD. THE SECOND ONE WAS A YOUNG WOMAN PERFORMER WITH A DRUMMER FROM SAN FRANCISCO. SHE PLAYED ROCK AND ROLL AND ON AN ELECTRIC KEYBOARD AND SANG. THE RAIN LESSENED AND MANY FOLKS DANCED TO THE RHYTHM. THEY HAD A CANOPY OVER THE BANDS. THE LAST BAND PLAYED RHYTHM AND BLUES. IT WAS NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST ONE. IN ANY CASE IT WAS A FUN EVENT. IT WAS HELD AT A CHURCH NEAR ARMSTRONG WOODS STATE PARK. THE CHURCH HAD A HUGE GARDEN.
