“For me, when someone says hometown, one of the things I envision is a freshly baked pie cooling in a window, probably a mulberry or rhubarb pie to be exact”, said Rochester Mayor Rob Ray. “With the longstanding family traditions in our community, I am sure there are some fabulous pie recipes that are truly hidden treasures on a 3”x5” card somewhere. Where else than a picnic to show off your pie baking pride? From the recipe passed down generations to a new creation, I am excited to see the baking skills of residents of all ages!”
We are seeking adult and child bakers in three pie categories – fruit, nut and other. Bakers will be asked to contribute two 9-inch pies – one for the judges, and one to be sold by the slice with proceeds benefitting Rochester area charities.
Bakers can sign up at www.downtownrochestermi.com/rochester-hometown-picnic-pies
