DeSantis said he also brought son to enjoy all the food the festival has to offer, and promised some goodies for the rest of the family.
“Now I’m on a mission. I’ve got to bring back as many strawberries as we can fit to bring back to Tallahassee, so we’re working on doing that,” DeSantis said. “That’s something that the whole family enjoys. I’ve also got to bring back chocolate-covered strawberries. And so we’re going to get that done.”
The festival kicked off last Thursday and will run through this weekend.
