To celebrate blueberry season, vendors, customers or anyone interested are all invited to enter their favorite blueberry dish in the Cane River Green Market blueberry bake-off on Saturday, July 11. All baked goods must be at the Cane River Green Market tent by 10 a.m. Judging for the contest will start at 10:30 a.m. and the first-place winner will be announced at 11 a.m. The winner will receive a Natchitoches tote bag with various items from local merchants and a gift certificate to the Cane River Green Market. Blueberries are at their peak during the month of June in Louisiana. These little blue treats make a great snack and not only are they good, but they are good for you too. Blueberries are a great source of vitamin C, manganese and dietary fiber. Blueberries are currently available at the Green Market each Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the downtown riverbank. So come out to the Green Market, get your blueberries and show off your blueberry baking skills!
