Created by Dana Pence of Flamboyant Studios, this video shows highlights of the 2009 Festival.
The Festival is organized and operated by the Pie Town Community Council, and is our main fund-raising event. The Council, an all-volunteer organization, performs a variety of essential services in the Pie Town area. The festival would not be possible without the help of our volunteers and supporters.
Events loosely follow a schedule, and there are vendors selling food, crafts, and services throughout the day. There is a short break in the late afternoon / early evening, then we dance in the pavilion until midnight. During the dance intermission, we hold a benefit auction for the prize-winning pies from the pie-baking contest and we draw the winning names for the five raffle prizes.
