What an amazing weekend in Mahone Bay. I had the pleasure of volunteering at the Pie Baking Contest on Saturday and the Faerie Tea on Sunday. Wow - my friend Kate Cocks organized both events and both were highlights of the festival. Mahone Bay is filled with talented and creative women and the best of them was on display on the weekend. The pie contest continues to grow and this year was the first, surely not the last, Faerie Tea. The creative bar is so high in the community. It was humbling to spend just a bit of time as a day of volunteer.
50+ pies, in 5 categories, Apple, Blueberry., Strawberry, Tree Fruit and Fall Harvest - plus Best in Show. For the third year in a row, our friend Lisa Rhuland walked away with the top prize, Best in Show. No small feat, three years in a row, with a different pie each year, apple, pumpkin and this year's winner Blueberry. Additionally the church had a baked bean luncheon during the pie contest - so many people volunteering to make our community the wonderful place it is. Apologies, didn't get many photos because I was working.
The Faerie Tea was amazing, I got great photos before folks arrived so they don't tell the tale of how successful this event was - more than 160 folks enjoyed tea and sweets, made headbands and wands. It was wonderful to see the Dads and daughters, the wonderful kids all dressed up as faeries and how much fun everyone seemed to have. The decorations, planning, food and so on were all over the top!
