Oversized Strawberry Crate - Portland, TN

The claim to fame of the small town of Portland, TN is their annual Strawberry Festival. In 2022, it is this weekend.

With that in mind, Citizens' Park along Main St. was redesigned in early 2019 with this oversized crate to hold strawberries. Likewise, oversized strawberries were placed around the crate as well as all around the block. Inside the crate are a couple of park benches.

Part of me feels this would be fun. Part of me feels this would be tough work on a hot day to just save a couple of dollars. Agritourism places like this seem to be more popular these days that when I was growing up. Or perhaps they've always been around and I'm just now learning about them. This specific place is along highway US231 in Trousdale County just north of the Cumberland River.
