 The spirit of Saturday's Festival The 32nd Annual Blueberry Festival had a beautiful Friday, followed by a Saturday that started cloudy, began to sprinkle, and then turned into a downpour that lasted the entire day. Although the totals will certainly be down from last year's record, a remarkable number of hardy supporters came and enjoyed the events under umbrellas and tents. It may not have been the most successful Festival ever, but it was the most heart-warming. We deeply appreciate everyone who came and the efforts of hundreds of people who made it possible, even in the pouring rain! Click "read more" or scroll down for the detailed thank you list. Check out the TV coverage of the Blueberry Festival on WBNG/Channel 12! Next year's Blueberry Festival will be held on Friday, August 3rd & Saturday, August 4th, 2012.
 ...and the Massed Band played on! |

You can help the Blueberry Festival by making pans of Blueberry Buckle for the Ice Cream booth! Please bring them on Friday or Saturday morning. Here is the recipe:
Blueberry Buckle (sometimes known as Blueberry Crunch)
Makes one 1/2 sheet cake pan (disposable shallow foil pan)
3 ½ cups flour
¼ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
½ lb. (2 sticks) margarine or butter
1 egg
2 cans of blueberry pie filling (standard 21oz. cans)
Mix the first six ingredients as for a pie crust. Beat the egg well and toss throughout the mixture with a fork. Spread half of the mixture in the pan and press down well. Spread the pie filling over the mixture in the pan and sprinkle the rest of the mixture on top.
Bake at 350° for around 45 minutes, checking after 30 minutes. The buckle should be light brown in color when done. |
