S7 E2: At the 2026, 45'th Annual Blueberry Festival!
It's DONE, it's OVER...The annual Montrose Blueberry Festival. This event is held every year as THE major fund raiser for our Association, benefiting the Historical Society and our four library locations. SPOILER ALERT: It was one of the best years ever from the fund-raising side! We will give you the final number at the end of the podcast. Enjoy the interviews, thank you to those people that spent time with me during the two-day event. We are releasing this on both the library "Off The Shelf" podcast and since the Susquehanna County Penn State Master Gardeners where at the table next to me, it is also being release on the "Digging For Answers" Podcast.
As summer draws to a close, i will highlight in the next release the Harford Fair Podcast. After that, it will be back to our traditional podcast format of covering library programs and community events.
Please SUBSCRIBE to get all of our episodes!
Thanks for listening and be sure to spread the word about the podcast!
