New at the Festival for 2007!
The Strawberry Promenade and the Star Berry Hunt


Strawberry Promenade - a Tented Oasis

The wonderful new Strawberry Promenade sponsored by Kaiser Permanente makes its premiere at this year’s Festival with an interactive and imaginative take on all things berry. Stroll through and experience the 12-foot-long framed strawberry field “Life of A Strawberry” exhibit or visit the Hero’s Hall pictorial salute to Festival non profit benefactors, take the green challenge at the recycling depot, or get a few tips on growing your own strawberries, courtesy of the California Strawberry Commission.

At the top of every hour, the Promenade’s presenter stage comes alive with enlightening activities and workshops such as quick & easy strawberry recipes for people on the go, health and wellness strawberry style, creating by artisan design, proper care for your strawberry garden, keeping it green with recycling, and more.

Star Berry Hunt
Adventure also awaits! You won’t want to miss the all-new “Star” Berry Hunt, an outlandishly fun and interactive quest for berry knowledge that begins within the Strawberry Promenade. Pick up your Star Berry Card and set out to explore the Festival grounds in an exciting search for clues that expand your berry knowledge and send you on your way to winning cool prizes and strawberry souvenirs. Follow the berry map and journey at your leisure. Wherever you discover the image of our “Star” Berry mascot, Mr. S. Berry, within the Festival grounds, you can bet there will be a helpful clue nearby. Solve the riddle and turn in your completed card at the Ventura County Star’s “Star in Education” booth in Strawberryland For Kids and you’re in the running for grand prizes like a four-night cruise and a weekend getaway to Honolulu with round trip airfare and hotel, compliments of Shell Vacations. Everyone earns special strawberry goodies just for participating. It’s berry enlightening and best of all, berry fun!
