“I think my and my husbands favourite is the first rhubarb pie of the spring. To have it warm when you’ve just baked it, that’s a good memory of mine.” – Marcia Woods“My mom winning the pie baking competition here two years ago. Some of my mom’s grandkids would, instead of asking for a present for their birthdays, they would ask for a pie.” – Don Norrish“One of my favourite memories is having a piece of hot apple pie and ice cream for breakfast at 4:30 in the morning when we were travelling.” – Arliene Allison“Sitting around the kitchen watching the generations making pies before me. It’s a nice homey reflective moment, especially with those that aren’t with us anymore.” – Hope Britton“I’ve helped with the pie competition for years and I just enjoy just seeing the different people that get involved, step up and bake a pie.” – Trudy Hall
