NACOGDOCHES — 19,000 people are expected in Nacogdoches Saturday for the Texas Blueberry Festival. Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples says blueberries taste great and are good for you. According to Staples, just a one-cup serving “provides five grams of fiber — more than most fruits and vegetables — and contains only 80 calories.” The weather and soil in the Nacogdoches area provide prime growing conditions for blueberries.
