Presidential candidate Barack Obama's Plant City stop this afternoon turned out to be at the popular tourist destination, Parkesdale Farm Market. He was accompanied by John Dicks, a Democratic congressional candidate and former mayor of Plant City.
Obama's bus caravan arrived at the market near the Florida Strawberry Festival grounds shortly before 2 p.m. Obama bought 50 strawberry milkshakes-for his press and staff entourage-and some peaches. He also shook hands with customers.
The market, founded by the late Roy Parke, is a popular destination for candidates and politicians as well as tourists.
