Blue Hill
Originally published in The Weekly Packet, August 2, 2012
Fourth annual Blueberry Festival set for this weekend

by Lyra Fuchs

The First Congregational Church of Blue Hill will host its fourth annual Blueberry Festival on Saturday, August 4, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The festival is fit for berry and craft lovers alike, as vendors will be offering a variety of products and activities.

Hopeful bakers can compete in a blueberry pie bake-off. For those who just wish to eat, there will be many dishes for sale, as well as a pancake breakfast in the morning. For shoppers, the festival plans to open a silent auction, flea market and used book sale. Items up for bid at the auction include furniture, jewelry, clothing and novelties. A general store will sell souvenirs that are blueberry themed, of course.

The church plans to set up a children’s area, complete with a bounce house, dunk tank and cake walk. The popular “Pocket Lady” will return to the children’s delight. Musicians will entertain throughout the blueberry-filled day.
