The Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City, FL has been a tradition for the town for the past 86 years. This festival is near and dear to my heart having grown up in Plant City.
The 1st year I entered an item into the festival's arts and crafts competition was in 2009. The previous year I had taken all of the Wilton's Cake Decorating classes at the local craft stores and decided to enter the cake decorating category. I got 2nd place for the cake below. Interesting fact is that when you enter a "cake" it's actually decorated pieces of styrofoam.
Since then I have gone on to enter items under Crochet, Papercrafts, Home Decor and Baking.
Here are my entries for this year:
Fudge 1st place
Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes 2nd place
Oreo Cheesecake Cookies 2nd place
Cinnamon Pecan Coffee Cake 2nd place
Quilling 1st place
3D - Donut/Strawberry Milkshake 2nd place
Origami - Battery Lit Lantern 2nd place
Cards - 1st polace
12x12 Double Layout Scrapbook Page - 1st place
Mini Album - 1st place
Home Decor - Wreath - 1st place
One of Blake's favorite singer's is Walker Hayes and we got to see him perform opening night of the festival. Blake enjoyed his first concert.
I get to share my love of papercrafts at the festival this year. I'll be conducting demonstrations twice this year: Monday, March 6th 10 AM - 1 PM and Sunday, March 12th 2PM - 5PM. C'mon out to see me!
Happy Crafting!
