Strawberry Festival
Food Practice Essay The most popular fruit in the berry world are strawberries. Strawberries are one of the most popular fruits in the world; they are popular between April and July. Strawberries not only add flavoring to foods but they are also healthy and very tasteful. There are more than 600 types of strawberries that vary in shape, size, texture, flavor and coloring. Strawberries are very elegant fruits; many use strawberries by dipping them in chocolate, smoothies, strawberry shortcakes and more. However, an event that I have attended where people have come together to share an interest in something that they all enjoy is the strawberry festival.
The strawberry festival is held once a year in Troy, Ohio at their local fairgrounds. Fulton Farms, just outside of Troy is known to have one of the largest strawberry fields east of the Mississippi River.

    Why We Are Williams Lake Essay

    This event has the capability to bring people together by showing how everyone has a common enemy, and a common goal. This is an important issue for me because while living in Williams Lake all of my life I have always been surrounded by people who claim to hate this town, yet never actually leave. It is these peoples negative outlook that helps give off the towns harmful reputation; because no matter how sunny of a day it is, these people will always find a cloud. Having a multicultural festival would be our way of fighting back against, not only the fog of racism in our town, but also to shine a light on the positive aspects of Williams…

    Personal Narrative: S Is For Strawberry

    When we are kids our parents tend to teach us how important is to eat fruits, what they don’t teach us is what comes along with that. That is for us to experience because only the ones who do, are the ones who can really take something out of it. I am a fruit person; I can say that I like them all but every time I try eating strawberries something interesting happens to me. I am like a little girl looking for what is there to learn about fruits in her first day of kindergarten, but all at the same time, using my five senses.…

    Woodstock

    “As the 1960s progressed, young Americans’ understanding of freedom increasingly expanded to include cultural freedom”(Foner, E. 2006). The generational rebellion that became to be known as counterculture would soon descend upon the hills of Bethel in upstate New York to what would be “the counterculture’s biggest bash”. The 1969 Woodstock Music Festival forever left a footprint in the lives of all those who had a hand in the staging of the festival, whether it be a hippie, planner, resident, or a business owner. It “brought together hundreds of thousands of young people to celebrate their alternative lifestyle and independence from adult authority.” (Foner, E. 2006). On August 15 to August 18, 1969, more than 450,000 people gathered on Max Yasgure’s pasture in Sullivan County to listen to music from artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Joan Baez. The town of Bethel was hit with a huge impact. While some good came out of it, such as local motels and gas stations profiting from the influx of hippies, farmers lost income and land were destroyed. Residents were left to clean up the mess left behind. Woodstock can be attributed to bringing the community of Bethel together as well as the young Americans who now had a stronger sense of community. Local government had to intervene by creating zoning laws. The residents of Bethel were promised future traffic jams would be prevented. Political fallout also resulted after Woodstock.…

    The Wright's Farmhouse By Susan Glaspell

    The Wright’s farmhouse in which the story takes place in is one of the most important clues when defining this piece of writing. The Wright’s farmhouse is described to be hidden off of a road in a rural hollow. The Wright’s farmhouse is described by others as a non-cheerful and lonely place. Mrs. Hale states that she stayed away from the Wright’s farmhouse because it was a non-cheerful and lonely place, “I stayed away because it weren’t cheerful-and that’s why I ought to have come. I-I’ve never liked this place…I dunno what it is but it’s a lonesome place and always was” (Glaspell 1114). The fact that Mrs. Hale stayed away from the house because it was so gloomy is definitely an indication of the poor atmosphere of the household. Also, Mrs.…
