19th Annual Wellborn Blueberry Festival contest deadlines approaching

Wellborn — The Wellborn Community Association is looking for participants to join in the fun of our 19th Blueberry Festival. The parade, talent contest and Blueberry Bake-Off are ways in which you can participate and possibly win cash or awards! Although the Festival is not until June 1 & 2, we are approaching the entrance deadlines for these events. Participation forms can be downloaded at our website, www.wellborncommunityassociation.com. 

If you have a favorite blueberry recipe you would like to enter in the Blueberry Bake-Off Contest, you can contact Jackie Slaughter at 386-330-5283 for information. Bake-Off entries will be accepted beginning at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, June 1. Prizes will be awarded in three categories.

The Blueberry Festival parade will start at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 2. The theme is “Think Green” (e.g., recycling, water conservation), and we are privileged to have as our Grand Marshall, Suwannee County Fire Chief Charlie Conner. To participate call Bobbi Fenderson at 386-963-2908. Prizes are awarded in three divisions: Floats, Equestrians, Antique Cars.

To enter the children or adult talent contests, call Linda Dye at 386-963-3626. The children’s contest is Friday, June 1 at 5:30 p.m. and the adults’ is at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 2. Substantial cash prizes are awarded for the top three winners in each.

There is still room for unusual arts or crafts vendors. For vendor information or general festival information, call Wendell Snowden at 386-963-1157. Come join us for two full days of blueberry fun and treats! As always, festival admission is free.
