The Blue Berry Jam Music Gathering begins today celebrating its 7th active year in our community. There will be two musical venues once again ; with the outdoor main stage at the tourist bureau campground and the Rotary Wheel will host the Blueberry Wine Bar. Last year’s event drew 9161 people. Over 100 performers wil be showcasing their talent over the 3 days. Coordinator Debbie McDonald lets us know how many volunteers it takes to properly run the festival and the schedule.
" Well at all times we have to have 42 people on site with volunteer t-shirts on to meet our liquor and licensing regulations People talk about how safe they feel there, how clean it is , we pick up the garbage on a regular basis. Our board has been working in the background meeting since September. We are going to be there on Friday from 4 til 1am, Saturday from noon to 1am and Sunday from noon to 10pm."
The committee advises that you park in the old extra foods parking lot and on the north side of the Walmart parking lot. They ask that you do not park on Dadson Row or at the Canadian tire portion of the parking lot. The complete list of performers can be found at flinflonblueberryjam.ca and it all starts this afternoon at 4pm.
