I would love to attend, but we are participating in a fashion show for our clothing line on that day.
We work The Florida Strawberry Festival, Plant City is the Winter strawberry capital and they have probably the biggest fair in Florida to celebrate the end of strawberry season. We've been trying for years get in the fashion show they have with our kids wear and this year they called and invited us to attend. Never turn down free publicity. I'll register to watch later.
