WILTON – Winners of the various contests and races from the 35th Annual Wilton Blueberry Festival are as follows.
Art Show
The 5th Annual Wilton Blueberry Festival Art Show was a great success with 35 entries in the festival’s 35th year. Coordinator Kathi Smith reported that entries have double in the past two years. Smith, an Assistant Professor of Art at Husson University and a native to Wilton took on the art show as a project to promote community arts in her hometown in 2012.
She states: “The Arts are a powerful connector for any community because everyone can relate to them in one way or another, and it’s my pleasure to support these artists young and old! I had remembered entering the Blueberry Festival Art Show as a child and am thrilled to be able to offer the opportunity and coordinate an event for the Blueberry Festival of which I have such fond memories.”
A special thank you to all participants and to our 2017 Juror Henry Harley Wasserman, a third generation Wiltonian, and traveling photojournalist. You can see his work on Facebook by searching his name.
