Colors and Confusion Make Sense in Texas
“Roses are red” or so the old saying goes. Texans may be eager to elaborate on that. Roses are yellow in Texas. Strawberries are red and Texans even see it that way. In Pasadena they celebrate the parade of roses, California that is. In Pasadena, TEXAS, they celebrate strawberries.
The 44th annual strawberry festival takes place in Pasadena this year on May 19th, 20th, 21st 2017. It is one of the biggest fund raisers to take place in the super sized Lone Star state. It is encouraged and promoted by the San Jacinto Day Foundation, a 501(c)# non-profit. The funds go to support several educational initiatives in the Pasadena area for high school students and also those at the post secondary level.
The festival is priced afford ably, and that is good news. There is so much going on, it may need more than one trip! There is the Buzzberry Kids Adventure Zone, which is a hands on learning by fun area. There are several other children’s activities, including pig races, and balloon rides.
The whole community gets involved in the celebration, and there is a beauty pageant before the festival. There is a parade, and in past years a Guinness world record was set. In 2005 the world’s largest strawberry shortcake was prepared there.
Family entertainment that is affordable, and fun for all, is accessible all year round in the Gulf tropical breezes of Pasadena Texas. Click the link below for info on current rebates.
