Let’s not forget the Shoo-fly Pie Social and contest! Each year an impressive variety of home-baked goodness – contributed by pie bakers like you – are lined up for all to sample. One dollar buys you a slice and a vote for your favorite. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded based on the decision of the live audience. We encourage all attendees to bring their best pie and win a prize. Specially prepared pies will be auctioned during the show as well.
