A Free Weekend

This was a nice break and it couldn't have fell on a better date. Each first Saturday of the month there is a big bike night in Plant City. It is a little township East of Tampa and is known for some of the best strawberries in the world! They even have a week long county fair and a parade dedicated to the strawberry. Anyway, with no photo jobs on the books for Saturday, I was off to Plant City. With us still in this perfect weather pattern, 80's in the daytime and 60's at night...with low humidity, it made for a packed show. There are vendors with all kinds of food & drink, and vendors for all kinds of motorcycle stuff. From bikes to leather. As a matter of fact, I got a great deal on a leather travel bag. It attaches on the backrest and will expand to allow you to pack for several days or weeks on the road! There was a live band playing, raffles, and a bike contest. This was one on the awesome custom made bikes in the show. A chopper like this one could very well cost anywhere between 50 to 150 thousand dollars...or more! Some good friends of mine, Christine and Allen owners of Santiago Choppers, were not at the show this week. Wait til I show you some of his work!! Unbelievable stuff!
There was a first at the show this month! Semi-pro wrestling. OMG...if you thought the pros were hard to swallow, you should see these guys. Lets just say I admired their physical training, but they could use a better acting coach! But I guess it didn't matter as I gazed into the audience with a foot long corn dogs or pop corn and watched as they were cheering on their man. Oh yeah, remember those food vendors? One was a guy and his wife who have a hot dog stand in downtown Tampa out side my building. Well they were at the show sell food. I got one big, gigantic, tasty turkey leg !
Hitting the sack...because we lose an hour tonight!! c-ya
