Chapter 6 > California Strawberry Festival
While en route to a potential wedding venue in Camarillo, we were distracted by signs reading "Strawberry Festival" with large arrows pointing west. After our venue viewing, we followed the signs to the very crowded and overblown annual Strawberry Festival in Oxnard. We pigged out on many strawberry delights and left feeling stuffed and satisfied.
One of the first things we saw, a giant sign for strawberry pizza. It sounded too intriguing to resist.
It turned out to be not quite as interesting as we had hoped, but it was quite tasty. In fact, we got another slice on our way out. We figured that a strawberry smoothie was the right beverage to have with it.
Sweetened-out, we bypassed strawberry nachos...
...and chocolate-dipped strawberries...
...and headed for some strawberry beer (and a tri-tip sandwich with garlic fries).
Cheers!
The itinerary for the day in the Strawberry Promenade.
That's a lot of berries.
