Fun Times at Pie Town

Great food, music and beautiful arts and crafts were featured at the Pietown celebration September 12. Around 40 pies were entered in "fruit", "nut" and "other" categories. It was a beautiful collection of pies. We would have gladly volunteered to be judges, just to taste them all, but that would have been conflict of interest!



Cathy Bissey and Midge Bishop worked countless hours organizing the contest. Many thanks to both of you and to all of the others who made this event a success.



Kathy Knapp runs an amazing restaurant called the Pie-o-neer in Pietown. We had a hard time deciding which kind of pie to choose, but finally settled on apple crumb. If you read this entire blog, you will find that over the past four months we have eaten a lot of pie at restaurants all across the country. Although we didn't try every kind of pie offered (this would take several weeks) we both agreed that the apple pie had the best crust we have ever had -- light, flaky and flavorful! If you make the trip out to Pietown, make sure to buy a couple of whole pies to take home and share!


BTW, our pecan carmel pie won the grand champion ribbon and a $100 cash prize! We will post pictures later.
