The Great Blueberry Bake-Off will return to the Blueberry Jamboree this June in Barrineau Park.

The 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.

Contestants may enter in any of three categories: pies/cobblers, cakes, and other assorted baked blueberry dishes. Entries should be brought to the Barrineau Park Community Center cafeteria on a disposable plate, covered with plastic, between 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on June 12. 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 1:45 p.m. Youth and adult entries will be judged together. Judges’ decisions are final. Winners will receive monetary prizes; first place: $50, second place: $30, and third place: $20.

The Blueberry Jamboree will be Saturday, June 12th, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Barrineau Park Community Center, 6055 Barrineau Park School Road, in Molino.

The event is sponsored in part by NorthEscambia.com, the Escambia County Office of Public Information and the Escambia County Extension Office.
