Also joining John Michael at the judging table will be author WILL WEAVER!, Park Rapids’ much-loved Helen Peterson (original owner of 3rd Street Market), and Chef Tom Geraedts. The entry fee is $5 per pie. The pies must be accompanied with the recipe. The four categories include: cream & custard, single crust, double crust, and Juniors (bakers age 8-16). The winner of each category will win $25, an Emile Henri pie plate, a gift certificate to Beagle Books/Sister Wolf Books, and bragging rights! The baker who enters the pie deemed “best in show” will win $100, an Emile Henri pie plate, a gift certificate to Beagle Books/Sister Wolf Books Pies, a gift basket loaded with baking tools and books, and the ultimate bragging rights! Pies will be accepted for judging at Beagle Books from 8:30AM – noon on July 4th. The judging will take place at noon. The winners will be announced following the parade, which starts at 3PM. After the pie champs have been announced and prizes have been given, we’ll auction off the pies! (Each pie will of course be missing one slice).
