Wherever it is, whatever we're calling it this year, how ever many we're having...
I've had a tough time getting posts to the blog this week, with it being what I typically call Crunch Week. This time of the month I'm very busy finalizing the next issue of the online festival magazine. I was also away from the office a lot today and then came home and found a new chapter in the ongoing berry soap opera that was the Monterey Bay Strawberry Festival at Watsonville, but is now called the Watsonville Strawberry Festival at the Monterey Bay. I'm sorry to say that there is yet another difficulty with the venue. This ill-fated event has seen more action than a merry-go-round during an 8.2 earthquake. I don't know how it has survived this long. At this point I'm beginning to just feel sorry for the people who sell and share at the festival and try to maintain some dignity. I hope the powers that be can work this into a single event that will satisfy the egos involved and still be fun. If the event splits into two, I vote we just move it all to Monterey County and watch them give the whole thing some first class treatment. Watsonville's handling and handlers are in danger of turning it all into a farce.
