Pie Festival Raises $700 for Nickelsville
The 2nd Annual Nickelsville Pie Festival was held on Sunday, September 13th, at La Marzocco USA Espresso Distributorship in Ballard.
Nine Pie makers entered their pies for the Contest, which had two different judging categories: Expert and the Holy Poli. The expert judges were Todd Morrow of Community Transit, Sharon Lee of the Low Income Housing Institute and Bryan Hattemer, husband of Amy, a La Marzocco Project Manager and contest organizer. He had studied pie judging on the internet extensively that morning.
The winner in the expert category was a Hot Buttered Rum Pie by Julie Hartley. The runner up was an Heirloom Apple Pie by Lynn Fahselt. Lynn also was the winner of the people's pie popular vote for her Savory Winter Vegetables with Goat Cheese Pie.
Kudos to the judges, pie contributors, volunteers headed up by Peggy Hotes, Pie Baking Contest Founder Angela Galloway, and of course all who came and paid $5 to eat pies and vote on them.
Nickelsville will soon be opening an encampment in Ballard. To donate, please visit the Nickelsville website.
