The Pie Fest consists of 3 local judges taste-testing 30 double crusted apple pies. You MUST register prior to the contest by contacting Megan at 864-7528 or meganjhumphrey@gmail.com because entry slots fill up quickly. Once registered, you MUST arrive BY (meaning PRIOR TO) 11:30 or you will forfeit your spot!!! Judges then use their finely tuned palates to discover the winners among pies. First Place walks away with $200 cash.

Hokum Bros will entertain the masses with their delightful schtick while the judges taste, ponder, and decide.
