National Blueberry Festival underway in South Haven

SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (WOOD) — South Haven’s National Blueberry Festival is underway along the lakeshore.

This morning, the annual Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast took over the  pavilion on Huron Street downtown. A long line of visitors waited  patiently for their blueberry-inspired breakfast.

Organizers estimate they fed 1,000 people over the four hour span.  Another breakfast planned for Sunday is expected to feed just as many.

Blueberry fest draws people from all, including two young sisters 24 Hour News 8 spoke to from St. Charles, IL.

Sisters  Taylor and Kelsey Lapointe spoke to 24 Hour News 8 while they visited  the National Blueberry Festival with their parents and Nana (August 12,  2017)

“I love blueberries… There’s a lot of vegetables and fruit that’s pretty good… lots of good desserts,” Taylor Lapointe said.

Her sister, Kelsey, added the plethora of blueberry pies sold during  the festival are also one of their favorites. They are on vacation from  Illinois, but timing worked out for them to experience the fun events  with their parents and Nana.
