Very disappointed. They might as well have a pineapple festival next month to draw crowds and add two booths selling pineapple daiquiris.
Lol, you’re right on. It’s the same vendors as always. People complain about no parking or it being too crowded. They have women in tacky dresses spinning and doing some kind of silly dance.

They really need a good event planning team because you’re right. It’s like they switch the name from strawberry to blueberry and have the same old stuff.
