Tagline: While at her vendor booth at the annual fair, Isabelle finally opens her heart to the possibility of romance--and before she knows it, love walks by.
Observations: "Strawberry Festival Love" gave me another idea for thinking up story plots. This story is set at a strawberry festival--a quintessential summer event. When you want to write a seasonal story, look at your town's event calendar, or even some other town's event calendar, for settings.
For instance, in Los Angeles, I found:
- Summer Sports Brewfest
- Beachside Summer Brunch
- Summer Cocktail Mixology Class
- Summer Wine Fest
- Summer Love Speed Dating Event
- Summer Culinary Creations
- Summertime Dessert and Tea Pairing Experience
- The Culinary Dude's Summer Cooking Camp: Harry Potter Inspired Recipes - Um, I want to go to this, but it's for kids!
- Summer of love Charcuterie Class
- Vegan BBQ Party
Getting any ideas from this list of events? I am! So, what are you waiting for? Get writing!

Love all these suggestions. I will check out my local town.
There are so many possibilities for summer stories.
Kate, you are always ten steps ahead of me. I never thought of going to the "Coming Events" page in the local paper. Now that I think of it, there is an interesting street in our downtown area. With space limited, some restaurants have opened along a narrow alley and the alley is shaded with a whole long line of colorful umbrellas, the ones you can hold in your hand. There has to be some kind of romance going on there.
