BZ Smith, Strawberry’s official story teller, wrote a letter to the City of San Francisco that tells the story of the Strawberry Music Festival though the eyes of someone who’s been there from the beginning. Here’s a taste…
My family and I are your Country Mice Cousins from Tuolumne County. You bathe in our water as it flows from our mountains. I hear you’re worried that we won’t take good care of our land. But we promise we will.
Three generations of Strawberry Music Festival, that’s us! Me, the hub who died in 1991, the hub whom I love deeply now (largely because he is a Strawberry Guy), the kids and now the grandkids, one of whom is in college. Strawberry has been our home away from home since the first festival. Our entire year is planned around these words: “We’ll do that AFTER Strawberry.”
Read the whole thing, then write your own. I did.
