Blueberry Bake-Off to be Held at Blueberry Jamboree

May 31, 2009

Escambia County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee invites bakers to bring their homemade blueberry goodies to The Great Blueberry Bake-Off, a competition held in conjunction with the Blueberry Jamboree.

The first annual Blueberry Jamboree is hosted by Escambia County Neighborhoods/Community Services Bureau and Escambia County Extension Services and will be held Saturday, June 13, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Barrineau Park Community Center, 6055 Barrineau Park School Road in Molino.

Contestants may enter in any of three categories: pies/cobblers, cakes and other assorted blueberry dishes. Entries should be brought to the Barrineau Park Community Center cafeteria on a disposable plate, covered with plastic between 8:30 and 10 a.m. A copy of the recipe must be included with the free registration.

Judging begins at 10:30 a.m., and winners will be announced at 1:00 p.m. Youth and adult entries will be judged together. Judges’ decisions are final. Winners will receive monetary prizes as follows: 1st place, $50; 2nd place, $30; and 3rd place, $20. For more information, please visit www.blueberryjamboree.com.

The Blueberry Jamboree is sponsored in part by NorthEscambia.com.
