One of the highlights of the annual Blueberry Festival for most people is delicious food, which will be available in abundance Friday, August 3, and Saturday, August 4, during the 28th annual festival. The Blueberry Festival began in 1980 as a fundraiser for the Susquehanna County Historical Society and Free Library Association, which serves the county with a museum, a main library and three branches (Forest City, Hallstead-Great Bend, Susquehanna), and Books-By-Mail and Books-On-Wheels. Breakfast and lunch will be served on the Village Green during the festival. For breakfast (8-10:30 a.m.) there will be pancakes with blueberry sauce, sausage, and fruit. At lunchtime, the choices will include hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, and more. Members of the community will provide a variety of food and snacks all day on Friday and Saturday, starting of course with fresh, local-grown blueberries. There are new options for snacks this year: cotton candy and snow cones! Blueberry muffins, ice cream, pie and other baked goods will be for sale, as well as lemonade. Jams, jellies, and produce of all sorts are donated by local people to benefit the Association. You can even keep the festival flavor going all year by purchasing one of the popular cookbooks featuring local recipes. Once again there will be a Blueberry Muffin Contest. The muffins will be judged at 10 a.m. Friday by a panel of local celebrities. Afterwards, winning muffins will be available to buy! To enter, please submit two dozen home-made (no mixes) blueberry muffins by 9:30 a.m. Friday, accompanied by a form available at the Montrose Library ahead of time, on the library's website (bluefest.susqcolibrary.org) or at the Muffin Table Friday morning. You don’t have to enter the contest to bring muffins for the table, and mixes are fine for those! Baked goods of all kinds are needed (please bring to the Library starting Thursday evening), as are volunteer workers. If you can spare an hour or two either day, call (570) 278–1881 or stop by the library. The Saturday of the Festival will feature activities for teens and tweens from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The popular pie-eating, bubble-gum blowing, and water balloon contests are scheduled to return, as well as all the popular children's games. The 28th annual festival promises to be fun for all ages. And if you love great books at great prices, the book sale has announced extended hours. The tent, with its over 10,000 sorted books, will be open until 6 p.m. Friday and start at 8 a.m. on Saturday.

Catherine and Lily Spangler haven’t left their hotel room since 1912, when their parents went down on the Titanic. Now it’s 1937, and the timid, middle-aged spinsters suddenly come face to face with an unwanted visitor from the outside world, a world they don’t understand and can’t accept.
On the set of The Orphans (l-r) are: Roxan Schwartz (Catherine), Nancy Kolvick-Campbell (Lily), Cassandra Colwell (Florette), Sam Corey (Ronald), and Jay Marino (Mr. Franklin). Tony Schwartz (Mr. Ervin) was absent for the photo. That’s the premise of The Lakeside Players’ upcoming production, The Orphans, by James Prideaux, which plays Saturday, August 4, and Sunday, August 5, in Union Dale Hall. The Saturday performance is at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinee is at 3 p.m. No doubt about it, the Spangler sisters are eccentric. Filthy rich (in every sense of the word), they hide $6 million in a trunk but live in squalor in a once-elegant hotel that, unbeknownst to them, is almost deserted and operates with a skeleton staff. Lily won’t allow a radio or newspapers, so Catherine is unaware of World War I, the Great Depression, or World War II looming on the horizon. But while Lily is overbearing and overprotective, warmhearted Catherine longs to rejoin the world, or at the very least, hire someone to wash the windows so she can see outside. Tickets are available at the door or in advance. Seating is general admission. Call 226–6207 for information.
