>> Friday, March 25, 2011

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet — Municipal Mayor Greg Abalos led Thursday the formal opening of Strawberry Festival, the main agro-trade-tourism and industrial fair of this capital town.

On Friday, the Halsema Road from the municipal hall to the provincial capitol was partially closed for street dancing which featured culture of town residents.

That night fireworks erupted along the area to the delight of the crowd. Other activities have been scheduled until the end of this month.

The mayor said he ordered the suspension of the town's number coding scheme to allow the expected hundreds of visitors coming here free access to all places of their interest.

As of March 16, local strawberry growers have readied their farms to be visited by tourists and started to display for sale fresh strawberries as well as processed products like strawberry jams, jellies, candies, wine and soap.
