The bright weather on Saturday, June 15, brought the yellow sun, blue skies and green grasses. But the strawberry brought the red.
The ABPA (阿宾顿商业会) worked together for the last couple of months to bring back the strawberry festival. The members decided to hold this event with the welcoming of the Summer Solstice (夏至). The festival came alive again with the vendors (摊贩), games, and races all through the downtown.
It started with a race for the kids. Children practised running before the race began, which gave them many chances to come in first place. Dressed in a strawberry suit, Miss Strawberry, aka Gerrie Carey, president of Clarks, greeted the kids and took pictures with them. The kids got to draw strawberries on the pavements (人行道). They also played with water balloons.
Local businesses sold their strawberry treats, including strawberries and strawberry pies. Paul and Emily Bobensky, the owners of Lacka Lemonade, sold their fresh lemonade (柠檬味汽水). They normally go to the farmer markets. It was the first time they had appeared at the strawberry festival.
Even though it was a strawberry festival, there was a pie-eating contest including blueberry pies. People gathered around and cheered as five men raced to finish pies without using their hands.
The ABPA helped with the payment of the parking for the day. The tea shop raised money for St. Jude’s Hospital. Everyone was happy and enjoyed the strawberry festival. It turned out to be a great success.
