A friend and I walked around Vista at their Strawberry Festival over the Memorial Day weekend. A great event and we never had a pleasure of attending in the past. It was either that or Coronado that started their summer band park series. In this case we opted for something new. You can learn more the
Vista Strawberry Festival. Lots of great activities that included small business vendors, restaurants, music, service organizations much more.
I'm looking for ways to build a theory that can help my hometown of Escanaba MI and in many ways be a model of economic development for other places. Our nation needs new ideas and new ways of doing things for long term success. In this case, I came across a study that highlights how there is significant impact to local economics from festivals. Events and Festivals Local Sustainability
Because it is Memorial weekend keep in mind the sacrifices many of our vets have made to life and to our nation. A few of these organizations were present and I thought you might want to check them out.
