Event Details
Description
On July 11, 2009, the eighth annual North Carolina Blackberry Festival will be in downtown Lenoir beginning at 10 a.m.
Activities at the festival include:
Arts and Craft tables, Music and other Live Performances, Fabulous Food, Blackberry Pie Eating Contests, Recipe Contests, Little Miss Blackberry Pageant, and Children’s Activities and Entertainment
Vendor deadlines have been pushed back. There is a rolling deadline for all vendors with the exception of food vendors. June 15th is the final deadline for all food vendors.
Having a Berry Good Time—Bouncing down the street in a purple glittery suit sewn with drupelets the size of watermelons, comes a Lenoir icon who, at first glance, seems to be from the Fruit of the Loom factory. But it is Mr. Blackberry, mascot of the Annual North Carolina Blackberry Festival. For the past five years during the last weekend of July, residents and visitors have made a mad rush to downtown Lenoir searching for the perfect blackberry. Blackberry connoisseurs can find blackberry-stained t-shirts, syrup, wine, juice, fritters, ice cream, and every possible variation of blackberry product. Bluegrass music, parking lot “pickin’” competitions, and a Miss Blackberry Princess competition are highlights of the day. There’s even a blackberry eating contest, where participants try to stuff down a quart of blackberries, only to be left with the casualties of the dreaded blackberry stain. |
