Beautiful weather made the 33rd Annual Blueberry Festival a delightful two days of summer fun for all ages. We deeply appreciate everyone who came and the efforts of hundreds of people who made it possible! Click "read more" or scroll down for the detailed thank you list.
The local news stations visited on Friday and shot some great segments! Check out WBRE's report and Blueberry Mania Takes Over on WBNG. Plus, Ryan Leckey Live visited the preparations on Thursday morning--click here for a sample--and mentioned some other Festival features when discussing the hospital's new 5K race. Next year's Blueberry Festival will be held on Friday, August 2nd & Saturday, August 3rd, 2013. |

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. |
