Do you have an old family recipe for scratch-made biscuits? How about a mouth-watering recipe full of fresh blueberries?

Whether it’s jam, muffins, cake or cookies, bring them on: the NC Cooperative Extension, Dare County Center is looking for heritage recipes that have been passed down over the years – beloved baked goods that never fail to put a smile on the faces of family and friends.

Those who have such a recipe are invited to enter the Biscuits and Blueberries Contest as part of Dare Days in downtown Manteo. Pre-registration is not required, just bring the item(s) to the Magnolia Pavilion (at the foot of the Cora Mae Basnight Bridge that crosses into Roanoke Island Festival Park) between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 4, 2022. There is no cost to enter and winners will be announced during the festivities.

First place winners in the various categories will receive a blue ribbon and grand prize winners in the Biscuit and Blueberry categories will receive a rosette and various other prizes. After judging, entries may be picked up at the Pavilion between 1:30 and 4 p.m.

This event is sponsored by the Dare County Cooperative Extension Service. For more information, contact Dee Furlough, family and consumer sciences Extension agent, at 252-473-4290.
