Apple pie was the order of the day, and there was no shortage of the all-American tradition at Tigerton’s annual Applefest on Sept. 23.
“We had 178 pies today,” said organizer Cindy Mueller.
The apples for the pies are locally sourced and, like most of the other ingredients, were donated. Some ingredients were purchased with donations, most notably from Thrivent, Mueller said.
The pies were judged by a panel of local dignitaries, with no knowledge of who baked which pie.
