The 2009 Marshall County Blueberry Festival is greener than ever! All over the country, festivals large and small are "going green," taking steps to cut down on trash headed for the local landfill. This year we at Blueberry are doing our part to keep our event clean and green!

Here's how we're going to do it:
  • Recycling receptacles for bottles and cans will be located all over the park, right next to the trash receptacles.

  • Two large recycling receptacles will be located next to the Blueberry Souvenir booths.

  • Vendors who recycle will be recognized with signage on their booths.

  • Visitors who are "caught" recycling by our "Green Team" will be recognized, too!

  • We'll be offering education about sustainable living practices throughout the festival.

We need your help! Show your Community Spirit by helping Blue go Green in 2009!

I mentioned it didn't mean I needed to be painted. But anyway, the fun fact is...
American colonists made gray paint by boiling blueberries in milk.
