  Strawberry Fest 2013

  Vista Strawberry Festival 2012 was so popular it was expanded for 2013 to include two more blocks of booths. By far the most popular activity was the series of fun runs in the morning starting with a 10K and working down to the 1/4 mile run for runners age five and under. The cupcake contest had a good audience and the walking Mr. Strawberry had countless fans wanting to have their picture taken with him. Of course there was the strawberry pie eating contest, if you didn't have enough to eat after the kettle corn and nachos. Photography by Peggy Peattie/UT San Diego
