Buckler Promotions held its fifth annual Live Oak Strawberry Festival February 22 and 23 at the Suwannee County Fairgrounds where the grounds were buzzing last weekend, full of strawberry lovers and visitors both Saturday and Sunday.

     Event goers have come to know that many of the vendors travel with Buckler Promotions throughout the season and offer unique merchandise. They also offer games, rides, pie eating contests and so many other activities, like an ax throwing tournament, monster truck rides and so much more. Fun for young and old that draws visitors year after year.

      When asked how the strawberries were holding out, Buckler Promotions’ event organizer June Font said every year they bring more strawberries and sometimes still do not have enough. She said they brought even more this year.

     Font also said they have more vendors this year. “Some of them are local. We get vendors from all over the state.”

    If anyone is interested in finding out where their upcoming events are or wanting to become a vendor next year, be sure to visit their website https://bucklershows.com for more information.
