Strawberries won't be the only red thing at the 2016 Florida Strawberry Festival.
From Thursday, March 3, to Sunday, March 13, the Big Red Bus will be taking blood donations. Each day, buses will be parked at Bryan Elementary School and Tomlin Middle School. Donors must be at least 16 years old to donate.
Each donor will receive one free admission ticket to the 2016 Florida Strawberry Festival, and a free wellness checkup. The wellness checkup includes checking blood pressure, temperature, iron count and a cholesterol screening.
