The 35th Annual Blueberry Festival is June 23 & June 24th from 10 am - 4 pm.
This wonderful community event celebrates the blueberry in a historic farm village where the blueberry was first cultivated by Elizabeth Coleman White. The festival welcomes thousands of visitors each year to ride wagons to go blueberry picking, listen to music, visit craft and artist vendors, tour historic homes and museums, make a craft in the makers workshop or watch artisans weave or carve.
After the festival, volunteers are needed to help break down stations throughout the village:
Folding chairs and tables, closing up tents, collecting lawn signs, bringing supplies to the storage shed and putting away, cleaning, storing supplies in bins.
Additional help is needed in putting away vendor materials, General Store supplies, picking up small trash items, etc.
Tasks are appropriate for families supervising kids, teens that work well self-directed and adults.
Volunteers get a free festival t-shirt, festival volunteer tag, water, snacks and lunch (hot dogs, hamburgers) is provided.
You are not required to work the full day, it may take only a few hours depending on the number of volunteers available.
