2nd Annual Blueberry Festival

July 31st 2009 - August 9th 2009

An eclectic recognition of all things blue! Agricultural products & activities, church bake sales, storefront window contests and blue light specials, family picnics and 100 gallons of blue jello. Charity walks, dances, library programs, bookstore contests. Blueberry-enhanced entrees, bar-b-ques and brunches! Deja Blue Car Show, blues bands, and Wearin’ of the Blue Village Strolls.

The 2009 Deerfield Valley Blueberry Festival, named a Vermont Top 10 Summer Event for 2009, is the culmination of a community effort coordinated by Janet Boyd from Boyd Family Farm in Wilmington in which dozens of businesses, organizations and individuals have created blueberry or blue themed events happening ten days consecutive days at the end of July into August.

"It’s fun, it’s silly, and something everyone can take part in," Boyd said of the event which she hopes will become an annual community event.
