To enter the Hi Fi Pie Contest, please drop off two (2) of the same home-baked pie (cooled and ready to slice) by 5:45pm. Pies will be sold by the slice to benefit WVRA and the Beecher Park Summer Series, and voted upon by local food celebrities and the public. Judges will award weekly prizes and a People’s Choice prize will be given in August to the most popular baker over the course of the 4 week fest. 

If there is rain, concerts may be postponed, check our Facebook HERE for weather updates.

FOR BAKERS:
