American as Apple Pie
Storytelling Arts Center of the Southeast (SACS) is looking to community bakers ages 14 for entries in the American Heroes Apple Pie Contest on Saturday, September 12. The contest is a featured part of the festivities surrounding American Heroes, Celebrating Americans’ Strength in Story and Song—an event honoring local heroes and celebrating the American spirit following the 9/11 tragedy. There is no entry fee for the pie contest. Registration deadline is September 10.
Apple pies in two categories will be accepted including traditional two-crust with apple filling and nontraditional (made mostly from apples, but can include other ingredients such as nuts, cream, etc). Pies and their accompanying recipes are to be dropped off at the Storytelling Arts Center, 131 S. Main Street, Laurinburg between 9:30am and 11:30am on the day of the contest. Winners will be announced at 12:15pm on the main festival stage. Winners will receive ribbons and have their recipes posted on the SACS website.
