Does your homemade pie recipe measure up?

Entries will be accepted from 1 to 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 22 in the Exhibition Center Hall B on the 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville.

Submit a HOMEMADE pie made from a recipe handed down through the generations. Include the recipe with directions. NOTE: No pies needing refrigeration (e.g. pumpkin, custard, sugar cream, etc.) will be accepted.  Entries must also include an essay (50 to 100 words in length) telling the story of how this pie became part of your family history.

Judging begins at 2 p.m. Scoring will include pie appearance, flavor, and the heart-warming details of your family story. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
