Mission Statement:
The Wellborn Community Association is a not-for-profit entity whose mission is to provide for the mutual welfare of the residents of Wellborn and its surrounding areas, to enhance community life by being attuned to the needs of the less fortunate members of the community, and to care for their social, economic and physical needs as means permit. Funds raised also support a community association building where functions are held to enhance the social spirit of the community. Our building is available for business meetings, group meetings, children's parties, holiday, birthday or retirement parties, or family reunions. Kitchen facilities are included. Contact Jack Allred, Building Manager at 386-963-4322.
Our main function and fundraiser each year is the Wellborn Blueberry Festival, held the first Friday and Saturday in June on the community center grounds in downtown Wellborn. Arts & crafts and food vendors, live entertainment, the country store, parade, blueberry bake-off, talent contest, raffles and door prizes, kids' games and crafts are all featured for two days of fun. Featured items are fresh blueberries and blueberry bushes, blueberry pies, cobbler, ice cream, jelly, syrup, fudge, and (of course) our famous blueberry pancake breakfast.
A Special Thank You! to Windstream Communications for their sponsorship of the pancake breakfast and the talent contest for the 2009 Blueberry Festival.
