Through the heat and the haze they came for blueberry pancakes and blueberry pies. 

The occasion was the Blueberry Pancake Breakfast and pie-eating contest held Saturday, July 20 at Verrill Farm in Concord. Families and foodies filled picnic tables packed beneath tents, which provided a bit of relief from the heatwave that stretched all the way to the weekend. The Yankee Stompers band provided the soundtrack for the morning. 

A breakfast of blueberry pancakes, sausages and bacon was served at 9 a.m., with a blueberry pie-eating contest that followed at about 11:15 a.m. Click through the photos above for some scenes from breakfast.
