The Neighborhood Village is part of the Florida Strawberry Festival, sponsored by the Original Waterless Cookware. Almost everything inside this quaint little exhibit is about homemade items and handicrafts created by the locals of the community.
As with the local's preferences in crafts, there are a diverse amount of differing crafts available in the village. There's baking, cake-decoration, food preservation, home decoration, jewelry and beading (perfect for the kids!) knitting, crocheting and tatting, needlework, quilting, scrapbooks, toys and dolls and clothes designing.
The food category covers the first three, namely baking, cakes and preserves. In Baking, you have cakes, candies and cookies. This is where the locals take pride in their baked goods. Different categories, different prizes. There's cake decoration too, which has reaches on wedding cakes, cup cakes, birthday and holidays. Preserves have almost everything. Jelly, jams, meats and vegetables, fruits, berries; you name it, so long as it is preserved.
In the decorations category, they have everything for home improvement. Pillows, pads, runners, hangings and linens. Jewelry has woven necklaces, beads, earrings, rings and key chains.
Needlework is a bit more broader. Embroidery, crewel, cross stitching, anything that has string and needle. Quilting is a bit different though, as they are hand-embroidered and have a different category of judging.
You have scrapbooks, whether traditional or digital. These are judged based on design, display, use of material, color and creativity. The contest is strict, and the prize; highly esteemed.
In the toys section, you have toys which are more overall focused on dolls. Bean bags, clothes, houses, teddy bears (quite fond of these). You also have wooden toys, a rarity among collectors nowadays.
The last would be the clothes, most of them would be men and women's wear, children and costumes. Pattern design, style, harmony, color and material are the usual criterias.
There's lots of things to see in this village, so I hope you'll take your time and visit when you drop by the Florida Strawberry Festival.
