The Blueberry Festival was a big success and we thank everyone who came to the event! With over 30 craft vendors, live entertainment by the Jazz Me Band, pick-your-own berries, free tractor rides, and so much more there was plenty to keep people busy. Approximately 650 people came for the pancake breakfast which is about double the attendance of last year! Your support helped us raise $3,000 for CURE, International. Thank you!
