The Cambridge Strawberry Fair

Cambridgeshire is a fantastic county with many things to be proud of. As Managing Director of the Cambridgeshire Tourist Guide I take a vested interest in the tourist industry, what effects it and what can be done to generate more for this county's important tourist economy.

I took great interest in reports following this weekends Strawberry Fair that some people chose to spoil what is a traditionally a community event by getting blind drunk and holding impromptu raves on the surrounding street corners.

Surely this will only succeed in driving people away from the fair and what is a traditional date in the Cambridge calendar.

Is this a sign that the fair is no longer holding the interest of the younger generations, or merely another comment on the social status of the country as a whole?
