The 5th Annual Strawberry Picking Challenge kicked off with a sponsor dinner at the TPepin's Hospitality Centre in Tampa. Guests enjoyed mingling during the cocktail reception as they participated in the silent auction. Comedian Dan Naturman provided the entertainment for the dinner following the live auction. Long-stemmed strawberries dipped in chocolate and strawberry shortcake were the featured desserts. At the conclusion of the evening, guests received a tray of Wish Farms' premium strawberries as a take home favor.
