“ The purpose of this organization shall be to
promote activities and programs throughout the
Montrose area that will have a beneficial effect
upon the quality of life
within.
A first consideration shall be the
improvement of recreational facilities, followed
by other activities deemed worthy and beneficial
by the Directors. A constant consideration shall
be given to community improvements with the aim
of promoting community strength, well-being, and
harmony.”
Modest words from a group
of men who, with vision and planning, sought a way to
improve the quality of life in the small community of
Montrose, Michigan. From its humble beginnings in 1972
until today, the Montrose Blueberry Festival has become
a recognized symbol of community volunteerism and spirit.
Hundreds of volunteers give countless hours each year
to guarantee the event’s success. That success can be
measured by the hundreds of thousands of dollars in
contributions the festival has made to the Montrose
community and by the simple fact that the event has
lasted so long.
So join us as we celebrate our 39th annual Montrose Blueberry
Festival.
Thanks go out to all those participating in our first annual Blueberry Festival "Kick-Off" Car Show. We had 53 amazing vehicles including three motorcycles; great tunes; really hot weather; and plenty of prizes for all. Many, many thanks to all our wonderful trophy and prize package sponsors; we could not have pulled this off without your support. Thanks also to DJ Rob Mata, the Oasis Shriners for good food and cold drinks, our great judging panel, and special thanks to our dedicated volunteers who worked all day despite the 95 degree heat.
