After the chili cook-off on
Saturday, August 2, the annual pie auction was held in the KC
Pavilion to raise money for the Logan County Fair Foundation.
This year, there were a total of
eight entries in the My Favorite Pie competition auctioned off by
auctioneer Ty Tucker.
The first pie up for bidding was
Barb Stinson’s eighth place strawberry rhubarb pie, which was
purchased for $70 by Larry Stanfield. Stinson’s fifth place
pineapple was purchased for $30 by Kelly Tucker.
Next up for bidding was the seventh
place apple pie baked by veteran pie maker Carlene Carter, which was
purchased for $45 by Nathaniel Gieske. Carter’ fourth place cherry
pie was purchased for $105 by the Read family in memory of Lyle
Read, who passed away recently.

In the top three, new participant
Elizabeth Edershiem’s third place triple berry pie was purchased by
Lincolnland Catering for $625.
Stephen Elkins, who has been in the
competition before, made the second place candy apple pie, which was
purchased for $375 by Rod Conklin.
The final pie up for bidding was
Carlene Carter’s first place pineapple pie, which was purchased by
Dale Rodgers for $350.
Tucker thanked everyone who purchased pies.
The money raised by the pie auction helps maintain the Logan County
Fairgrounds. Not only do the generous bidders help keep the
fairgrounds looking nice, but they also get to eat some delicious
pie, which is a win-win situation for all.
