Our temporary living apartment happened to be on a street that is very busy in Houston. They constantly have events going on right out side of our door. One weekend, it was the Wacky Car Show. We'd planned to head to the Strawberry Festival-hello Strawberry Shortcake, but we took in a bit of the celebration of the Car Show first.
We'd had enough of the cars so headed to Pasadena (about 30 minutes from down town) to the Strawberry Festival. I thought it was going to be awesome..unfortunately, we were disappointed. Not only was it extremely difficult to find strawberries at the strawberry festival (um, really?!) but they were also Driscoll strawberries....yea, the kind you get at the store (again, really!?). When I asked the woman who was selling them if they were specially grown for the festival, she replied, "umm, I wouldn't call them special, but they give us the juiciest ones"....again, really?! really!?!
We decided to make the best of it and walk around a bit more
This wasn't ice, it was some sort of material not conducive to "ice" skating...again, this strawberry fest failed us :(
And on to the Texas-sized food. They had everything..and lots of it! Except for, of course, strawberry shortcake :( Seriously!?
The most gigantic turkey legs I've ever seen.
This was a size small...sweet tea minus the sweet. Should've gone for the sweet.
Oh wow.
All in all, the Strawberry Festival was educational but a bit of a disappointment. We saw all sorts of Texas specialty foods but the lack of strawberry themed foods was a bit misleading.
