2025 Red, White, and Blueberries Booth Contest

A message from the Ten-Dollar Founding Father and late, great Secretary of St- . . . er, no . . . the Treasury: Alexander Hamilton.

My Dear Sirs (and Madams),

It is I, Alexander Hamilton. My name is Alexander Hamilton, and there’s a million fruits I haven’t tried, but just you wait, just you wait!

I have it on the best authority, a majority of you heard from the English monarchy - a year ago, about the King’s love of blueberries. Well, you see, I too love the fruit of the berry tree and want to see what blueberry-inspired items you can make for me.

Now King George loved to gorge on berry tarts, and forge the best blueberry arts. What smarts is that he was able to impart his message before I even got the chance to start. But wait, I’m putting the horse in the place of the cart.

The Chattanooga Market on July 6 will mix its usual Market with a bag of Red, White, and Blueberry tricks in hopes the public picks up on the blueberry fix. We’re calling on you, our Vendors true, to set the stage with a view to all things blueberry, in every shade and hue, be it a candle or a necklace or pie or two.

And if you dare to dream that it takes what you’ve got, there’s a pot for the one not throwing away their shot. Top prize is $50 and that’s quite a lot! One Ulysses S. (who was not so hot - he gets the 50, and me the 10? That is such a crock)! But here’s the link that you sought, feet fail you not, this may be the only opportunity that you’ve got. At least until next week, when Peach Fest kicks off.

And for those who can’t let go of the chance to be a hero, strike a blow at the 3 pm pie-eating show! Vendors only, don’t miss your shot to inhale pie through your nose. We’ll give you social media love so your business grows.

Well, that’s all, I’ve got to turn it. But I hope your blueberry passion remains fervent, and for those not too observant, I am as always,

Your Obedient Servant,

There is! It’s in grey, so it’s harder to see than usual - but here it is:
