Mrs Blueberry Shortcake (Jinny Wilson) on stage heard very kind words spoken by Bobbi Fenderson. Bobbi remembered the years of weekly Suwannee Democrat columns,the monthly mailed Wellborn Whisper, the Wellborn My Hometown local history book and now this blogspot. It was a Limelight Day for My Hometown and Me.
The plaque reads:
Wellborn Community Association proudly presents this award to Jinny Wilson for her support of the Wellborn Community Association and for serving as our 2011 Grand Marshall of the 18th Annual Wellborn Blueberry Festival June 4, 2011.

A once in a lifetimer day for me! My friend, Carmen Hernandez, had created these wonderful costumes, Mrs Blueberry Shortcake and Miss Estrelljita. We rode in a red '57 Chevrolet driven by Allen and his boy A.J. We were next to the Navy Band in the lineup. Along the parade route their color guard American flag won salutes that warmed my heart and brought "God Bless America" to my mind. What a thrill to feel happy responding smiles as we waved to the parade watchers. I think I am the most photographed lady in Wellborn tonight and Carmen is a close second. A GREAT DAY!
To God Be the Glory, for surely the heavenlies shared the Festive Fun in My Hometown today.
