Have I mentioned that you ladies of the Twitter Pie-Off Commission rawk? Lemme say it again: you ladies RAWK! Whoo-hoo, pie!
I agree, you gals are awesome! I can't wait!
Can't wait to meet both of you too! And can't wait to try your pies.
Can I enter a single pie into more than one category? For example, both the berry pie and local pie categories?
Hi Anonymous: Good question! Yes, you can enter your pie into more than one category if it's applicable. Mmmm....local berries! Good thinking!
I can't make it until 4:00. Someone else can have my pie there at 3 but do you think it would be worth showing up at 4 (meaning: will there be any PIE left?)
Thanks
Hi Widelegger! Yes, you can have someone else deliver your pie, just make sure they have the info needed to enter it into the correct category(ies), etc. I'd say that if you got there at 4pm or so, you'd be safe to enjoy eating some pie. There will be the judging and awards, and then the free-for-all on the pie. Come!
Two quick questions:
What if a pie is made of fruit & custard? Can I still enter it in the custard category?
How many of the same pie should I make to ensure that there is enough for sampling and judging?
I am really looking forward to this event and meeting the organizers!
Matt;
These are great questions, and rest assured, you can enter you pies in more than one category. For example your pie may be qualified in both custard and berry and local: good for you! You can enter it in each. Does this help?
Just chiming in to show a little testostero-lovin to the pie contest.
Men--let's show 'em how it's done!
Now where's my frilly apron?
Do we need to provide a little sign for our pie? With our name and the pie's name and the category?
