Thousands of people felt "blue" Saturday for one of the biggest festivals in the area.

The weather was great for Marshall County's Blueberry Festival.

This is the 42nd year for the Plymouth tradition.

Visitors strolled through crafts booths, played games, listened to music, and tasted a number of blueberry foods.

Visitors say it's a great way to wrap up the season.

The festival runs through Labor Day, and it is free to get in.

Among Sunday's big events, the car show starts at 8:00 a.m. and a fireworks show at 9:15 p.m.

No, I actually have a life. I don't sit around all summer going, "Gee only two more months 'till the blueberry festival!" All I am saying is that the festival board needs to promote it more. If it didn't pay to advertise, then no one would do it. Have you ever notice how many billboards the Amish Acres Arts and Crafts Festival buys? BECAUSE IT WORKS!!!! Catch a clue!

Eric... have you lived in Michiana very long? The Blueberry Festival takes place EVERY Labor Day weekend. Also, they have advertised. Your Saturday was wasted b/c of you and not b/c of advertising.
