The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Pie judges (l to r) Paul Gregutt, Trevor Johnson, and Jack McCaw took their job seriously as they tasted from 12 submissions in the 2nd Annual Laurette McCaw Pie-Oneer Fall Festival Pie Baking Contest sponsored by Friends of the Waitsburg Pool.

Laurie Withers took the grand prize with her rhubarb strawberry pie. First runner up was Sarah Groffman with a butterfly peach pie, second runner up was Camden Vorhees with a raspberry pie, and third runner up was Lily Maquire's apple pie.

The pies were later auctioned off to raise funds for the pool with the winning pie bringing in $57.50.
