Impact Award: Kennedy’s Jewler & CBH Insurance Agency
Spirit Award: Morning Glory Yoga Studio & the Runaway Mule

“I believe the nominations committee did an outstanding job of selecting this year’s award recipients,” said O’Brien, “we look forward to being able to honor more downtowner’s next year.” The Main Street Awards plaques are on display at all of the award winners’ place of business. Residents and visitors can stop by and say “thanks” to these downtowner’s for their hard work in helping make downtown a great place to shop and visit.

Blueberry celebration is June 9
The Texas Blueberry Festival presented by Brookshire Brothers and produced by the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce returns to Nacogdoches the second Saturday in June with a celebration of the annual blueberry harvest, featuring delicious blueberry fare, live entertainment and activities for all interests and ages.
Festival Chair Michelle Smith, left, and chamber Vice Chair of Special Projects and Fundraisers Jessica Henderson hold the official 23rd Annual Texas Blueberry Festival event poster and t-shirt. Both items are available now at the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce, 2516 North St.
“The 23rd annual Texas Blueberry Festival will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, June 9, in our historic downtown and FestivalPlaza, the grassy park area just south of the brick streets,” said Festival Chair Michelle Smith. “The festival keeps getting bigger and better every year. Admission and parking are free, and thanks to Keep Nacogdoches Beautiful, the festival is a litter free event.”
Smith said the new events at this year’s festival include the CASA Kids Cupcake Contest and a CASA Cupcake Decorating station at the 115 E. Main St. CASA of Deep East Texas business location.
“Festival volunteer Dr. Bess Wilson organized a Blueberry Poster contest, and the creative entries from our school-age children can be seen around town right now as well as at the festival,” Smith said. “The Little Miss Blueberry Pageant will be held on June 2 and pageant contestants will make appearances at the festival, too.”
Festival favorites continue such as the Running of the Blueberries 5K fun run and walk. Kiwanis’ 8 a.m. Blueberry Pancake Breakfast, fresh blueberries for sale by Hayter’s Mill Creek Farm and free shuttle rides to transport guests from the festival to a nearby farm where all can pick their own blueberries right off the bush. Live musical entertainment and performances can be enjoyed on three downtown stages. Cowboy Max is back with comedy and stunt performances in the Commercial Bank of Texas lobby in between the Cookin’ Up the Blues cooking demonstration with guest chefs Amy McLeod, Season Ammons and Darla O’Dwyer. Sweet blueberry treats can be found and enjoyed at the Regions Bank Blueberry Hill Soda & Sweet Shoppe.
Plenty of free-of-charge and nominal fee activities for children including a petting zoo and water and bounce park are available and more than 100 vendor spaces will be filled with arts, crafts, food and unique items.
Other attractions include the Brookshire Brothers Blueberry Pie contest, a state and nationally-sanctioned 42 tournament, multiple pie-eating contests for kids and adults, a pet parade, washer board tournament, classic car show and the children’s costume contest.
“We’re happy that the Blueberry Festival of Quilts is back this year,” Smith said. “Each piece is a work of art and the exhibit is open Friday, June 8 as well as festival day in FredoniaHillBaptistChurch.”
Prime growing conditions make NacogdochesCounty one of the leading blueberry producers in the state, and the annual harvest peaks in early summer. Proceeds from the Texas Blueberry Festival benefit the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce’s various community and business development programs. Nacogdoches is located approximately 150 miles north of Houston via U.S. Hwy. 59.
For more information about the Texas Blueberry Festival, call the Nacogdoches County Chamber, 936-560-5533 or the Nacogdoches Convention and Visitors Bureau at 1-888-OLDEST TOWN.

Morgan Insurance tops 2012 Blueberry Golf Bash (With Photos)
The 15th annual Blueberry Golf Bash, hosted by the Nacogdoches County Chamber and presented by MyPlates.com, welcomed 144 golfers Friday, May 4, at Piney Woods Country Club. Ben Wright and Fern Simmons co-chaired the event, leading a team of several dozen volunteers.
“We added several new features this year,” Simmons said. “We offered both morning and afternoon tee times and expanded the awards.”
As golfers worked up hearty appetites, Piney Woods Country Club provided breakfast, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers provided lunch and LugNutz Sports Bar & Grill served a fajita dinner. Golfers looked sharp in official tournament caps from Texas Farm Products, and slaked their thirst with Best Water from water sponsor Wells Fargo Advisers.
“The Blueberry Golf Bash raises funds the chamber uses to provide services to members, newcomers and Nacogdoches visitors,” Wright said.
Results:
Top Gross scoring team with an 18 under par 54 was Morgan Insurance. Finishing second with a 16 under par 56 was the “Nooners” team.
Top Net team was Badders Law Firm with a score of 51.5. Second was Point A Media, scoring 52.3. Coming in third net was R&K Distributors with a 53.0 and fourth net was Brookshire Brothers with a 53.2.
A special 15th Place award (in recognition of the tourney’s 15th anniversary) went to Dr. Tony Haskins’ team with a net score of 56.6.
Jessica Henderson scored the women’s longest drive, and Gary Ivins took men’s longest drive. Rusty Harris took closest to the pin honors on #12 and Richie Cook did the same on #6.
Several golfers were close – but not close enough – to claim the $25,000 hole-in-one award sponsored by Curtis & Clark Energy Services on the ninth hole.
Chamber Chairman Lee Smith observed that “near-perfect weather and a course in fine condition helped our golfers enjoy another excellent day of networking and fellowship. We thank our volunteers, sponsors, golfers and Piney Woods Country Club.”
