The Blueberry Festival was by far the largest festival that we have been to in Alabama (although Peach Days still bigger by far) and we couldn't think of a better reason to honor one of our favorite fruits then by spending the day surrounded by hot sweaty people.
There was plenty of evidence that we were at a blueberry festival because there was a plethora of blueberry dishes to snack on. There was blueberry pie, cobbler, blueberry ice cream and of course cases and cases of cheap blueberries. I tried all things blueberry while Clay decided to enjoy a Southern staples and went with a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich (yeah one of us obviously didn't find it important to partake in the festivities...not going to say who...*cough cough...clay*)
The vendors were also very colorful people and they made some amazing products that I hadn't seen before. There was a man who made beautiful bars, side table and chairs out of wine barrels and I am still kicking myself for not getting any pictures (because with the price he was asking for them I could probably only ever afford a picture).
At the end of the day the festival was a great hot and sticky mess filled with cars, sweets, music and of course blueberries.
What is a better way to spend a Saturday?
