Bluemont's Citizen Association and the organizers of the 45th Annual Bluemont Fair proudly announced the winners of the 2014 Pickle & Pie Contest. All of the entries were beautiful and, by report, delicious, but the following were singled out for special recognition:

Pie Fruit
1) Lynn Bobb - Apple
2) Jennifer Brady - Wineberry
3) Bethany Kessler - Spiced Apple Pear

Pie Non-Fruit

2) Bethany Kessler - Turtle
3) Lee Campbell - Walnut Turtle

Pickles

First place winners received a pie or pickle plate made by local potter Amy Oliver of Monkeytown Pottery, and bragging rights, of course!

Following the competition slices of the entered pies were sold to the throngs of fair visitors and were very quickly consumed with pleasure.
