Interesting information you got, how sad to say that I missed last year's event but this year the festival makes use of the theme “Sowing the Seeds of Meaningful Friendship”. It promises to not only promote strawberry products but also the rich culture of the indigenous people and their friendship with the rest of the country. here's the info. link where I saw the upcoming event this year. http://urbanmala.info/blog/?p=663
