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. 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 is hosted by Escambia County Office of Public Information and Escambia County Extension Office and will be held 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.
