Challenge Exhibits

Blueberry Fields Forever

Sponsored by The Fabric Garden

Blueberry Fields Forever...this challenge exhibit honors Maine’s blueberry. Think blue and white... or green barrens covered in ripe blue berries under a beautiful Maine sky … or when the barrens are red in the fall.

Perhaps food is what comes to mind! Blueberry pancakes, muffins, jam, cheesecake, pie – what’s your favorite way to get your antioxidants? Let your creative juices flow....Blueberry Fields Forever!
