The eighth annual Creemore Apple Pie Contest will be a part of the village’s Thanksgiving celebrations.

Bakers are encouraged to have a homemade pie ready for the judges on Saturday, Oct. 11.

Apple pies must be submitted by 10 a.m. at Station on the Green. They will be judged on flavour, appearance, crust and texture.

Judging will be complete by noon and ribbons will be awarded for the top six pies.

Entries should be in a disposable pie plate because it is not always possible to return the dishes.
