Sweet scent of strawberries fills the air. Luscious red berries so juicy and full of sweetness. It’s that time of the year. Strawberries are in season. The Williamson Produce stand is my fav spot in town to get fresh strawberries.

Santa Maria, CA
In 1931, the Santa Maria Club started a “Stag Barbecue,” which was held on the second Wednesday of every month, with up to 700 patrons attending each event.
