View the first Texas Blueberry Festival poster art winners in local businesses
For the first Blueberry Festival Art Poster Contest, school-age children submitted their own creations with the Texas Blueberry Festival as their inspiration. The winners were chosen by a panel of blueberry volunteer judges, and copies of the art can now be seen around town, displayed in local businesses. See the winning art in some downtown merchant storefronts during the 23rd annual Texas Blueberry Festival presented by Brookshire Brothers, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, June 9 in historic downtown Nacogdoches. The Texas Blueberry Festival is produced by the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce.
