The ninth 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. 10.
Apple pies must be submitted by 9:30 a.m. at the Farmers’ Market next to Station on the Green. They will be judged on flavour, appearance, crust and texture.
Judging will be complete by 10:30 a.m., in time to catch the Toronto and North York Hunt’s ride to hounds at 11 a.m.
Ribbons will be awarded for the best pies.
Slices of pie will be served to the public after the judging.
The horse and hounds parade starts and finishes at the Gordon Feed and Seed lot in the centre of town, directly across from Foodland.
Spectators are invited to come by the lot after the parade to admire the horses, play with the hounds and meet the riders.
A Blessing of the hounds and horses will follow in the lot immediately following the parade.
