Strawberry Fields Forever
The annual Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival, annually April fete, is in full swing as you read this article. February through April is considered prime season. Boo and I have been to the fest when there were no strawberries, just a good time. New varieties have lengthened harvesting season. With fresh strawberries, treat choices are amazing with strawberry ice cream, strawberry cakes, muffins, and pancakes to name a few. There are strawberry daiquiris, martinis, and margaritas. Local antique stores and street artisans abound.
