SPONSORS

The Montrose Blueberry Festival would not be possible without the support of our local community and corporate sponsors. We would like to thank the following businesses and individuals for their generosity and continued support.

Montrose Community Schools

Since 1972 the Montrose Community School district has been one of the largest contributors to the festival by providing the use of school buildings and grounds.  Throughout the years, administrators, teachers and auxiliary personnel have worked tirelessly alongside festival committee members providing a network of support.  The Montrose Blueberry Festival continues to grow, always with the helping hands of many good people.  Please visit them at Montrose.K12.

Country Fresh Dairy
A long-time supporter of the Montrose Blueberry Festival, Country Fresh Dairy supplies at reduced cost, all the milk, orange juice, coffee creamer and butter used during the Saturday and Sunday pancake breakfasts. This generous contribution from Country Fresh is a huge savings for the wildly popular all-you-can-eat feast.  Click here to browse the Country Fresh website.
