The First Congregational Church of West Tisbury will hold its annual Blueberry Festival on Saturday, July 18, 2015, from noon to 4 pm. Enjoy blueberry treats at tables and chairs on the front lawn: blueberry/peach cobbler “just like your grandmother used to make,” blueberry/pomegranate smoothies, and blueberry sundaes. Blueberry iced tea and lemonade will also be served. Baked goods to go will include blueberry/peach cobbler, blueberry pies, blueberry coffee cake, blueberry muffins and scones, and even blueberry jam. Flower bouquets, freshly cut from local gardens, will also be available.
A blueberry bush donated by Jardin Mahoney will be raffled off; entrants do not need to be present at the drawing to win, and the church will deliver the blueberry bush to the winner. There are also activities for the kids, and a children’s raffle for a blueberry-themed gift basket.
Look for the blueberry banner and bright balloons on the church fence in the center of town the week of July 12th. All proceeds from this fundraiser help support this historic church and our Island community. For more information, call 508-693-2842. The Blueberry Festival will be hosted indoors in the event of inclement weather.
