Everyone who wants to eat pie gets three tokens, and you pick your favorite in each category, then put your token in that pie's cup, one for each category. Keep in mind that the "rules" are quite..ahem...lax... when it comes to exactly what
qualifies as a pie. There will be a winner in each category, and they will win... GLORY!! Also, maybe a little something something else. Have fun, folks! Pie Contest starts at Noon, winners announced around 3-3:30ish pm.<br><br>And in that spirit, I officially present to you the super-special-bonus-Hilda-<span class="yiv1063972146word_break" style="display:inline-block;"></span>category for the pie contest: QUANTITY. That's right, enter your pie into one of the three regular categories, and it's automatically entered to win the special category of QUANTITY. What does that mean? I'm not really sure...what can you come up with? Interpret away! There will be a special surprise for the winner of QUANTITY...a special surprise, indeed... hee hee hee.<br><br>Note that this meeting is garb-free, unless you feel like it. Also, the Steelers game does not conflict. I look forward to seeing you all at Barony Meeting Sunday!</div></div><div><div
