County Fair pie contest

Motts North America of Williamson will be sponsoring the 11th Annual Wayne County Fair Pie Contest on Tues., August 14 at 7 p.m. at the Wayne County Fairgrounds, Jackson Street, Palmyra. Residents from all over Wayne County will compete for Wayne County's best scratch pie and the $50 first prize.

The top six pies in Wayne County will receive rosettes and cash awards. There will not be an entry fee and the competition is open to all Wayne County residents. Professional pie bakers or employees of a bakery are not eligible to enter.

Last year's winner Ralph Bliek of Williamson was the first person to win the competition two years in a row and the first male ever to win the competition (in 1998).

Immediately following the competition, Van's Auction Service of Marion will auction off all pies. All proceeds will go toward renovations.
