Payton Pietras
Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun. ere will be ve age groups, ranging from seven years and younger to the Pie-oneers of baking, consisting of 60 years and older.
Each contestant must submit two a temporary asphalt trail in 2008 by the developers responsible for the King Soopers in Bennett Market Place. This trail has quickly become the backbone of the town’s Adams County Trail system as it connects to many of the town’s business districts, trails, and parks. Currently, the trail is in serious disrepair as the useful life of 10 years or less has expired. The town replaced a portion of the trail in 2020, but there is still an asphalt portion that needs to be replaced. The replacement will be an eightfoot-wide concrete trail from just identical, double crusted fruit pies. No cheating! Everything must be homemade! One pie will be judged and the other will be auctioned o to the highest bidder. Pro ts from the auction are awarded to the Good Luck 4-h club to help the program continue to thrive.
Winners and prizes
In each age group, the 1st place winner will be awarded $100, the 2nd place winner will claim $5 and the 3rd place winner gets $25. Last but not least the Prettiest Pie receives $25. Enter at https://bit. ly/2023PieContest to be a part of past Muegge Way to North Marketplace.
Bennett, Open Space Event Bleachers, $25,000
The Town of Bennett hosts many free outdoor events for the community. These events primarily take place in Trupp Park, but we have also hosted events at the Historic Charles Muegge House, the Corridor of Honor, and the Mount View Cemetery. The events include Party in the Park, Veterans Day Celebrations, BBQ, and more. The largest event we host this contest. is Bennett Days, which typically includes a free bull riding event and a concert. In years past, we have rented bleachers for these events. However, the events have grown in popularity, and the cost to rent a sufficient set of bleachers has become a burden on our budget which has led to us having to consider charging a fee for the events. Therefore, we are hopeful to purchase our own portable bleachers that can be moved to different Adams County Open Space events to accommodate our attendees.
If you are not a baker, but like to be a part of the event, e Good Luck 4-H Club will be accepting donations to help defray the cost of the event and awards. ose that donate to this awesome old fashion contest will be acknowledged during the competition through signage in the display areas.
Turn the page back to yesterday and come join us for this fun lled event.
