Please consider this opportunity as it is destined to be another great success. 98% of our 2007 dealers are returning due to the fact hteir sales were great and they enjoyed working the show. The 2007 N.C. Blueberry Festival drew more than 25,000 people. It promises to be even more successful, with a variety of activities and venues including live entertainment, arts and crafts, food and drink vendors, children’s activities, beer and wine garden, antique car show, 5k run, and a golf tournament. Local antique shops, restaurants and businesses will also participate.
