Let me tell you about my Habitat Ocala 2020 Strawberry Festival experience. First the support team was awesome. There were students from Marion County schools that helped with everything. There were two volunteers who saw my wife and I struggling with our pop up tent so they walk right over and pitched in. I was walking to registration a guy in a golf cart said get in. I must have looked really beat. I was!

The Vendor area was well mark and well thought out. I was pleased to see the preparation that went into this festival. My contact person was Joann Black. Thank you Joann and Habitat of Ocala for putting this on.

They were selling Strawberry short cake. I heard one lady that they served 4,000 short cakes. Actually I think they sold out of food between 3 and 4 pm. Truckloads of strawberry flats sold out.

Some 34,000 people attended. There was not a shortage of people. They would stroll by our booth, asking questions or say yes I read that paper. A couple asked my view of our up and coming race and of course I responded.

Many thanks to my wife Phyllis and Karen Nicely of “Writing Nicely” for helping me get through the day. Karen is a copy editor she will edit your book and give helpful hints if you want it. A very talented lady.
