Cabot Historical Societies fifteenth annual Apple Pie Festival is Saturday, October 18th, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the Cabot School Gym. We hope you'll be there.
DONATIONS of many apple pies are needed (pies purchased from a bakery are acceptable donations.) Contact Mary Beth Churchill at 563-2345 if you can donate a pie or two, or you may just drop your pies off at the Cabot School Gym on Friday between 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.. or Saturday morning between 8:30 a.m. and noon.
APPLE PIE BAKING CONTESTS: Now is the time to practice your apple pie baking skills. First place winner in the adult baking contest receives $50 cash, a beautiful blue ribbon and other prizes. We also have names of the winners of the Best Apple Pie engraved on brass plates on our "Apple" plaque. Ribbons, cash and more prizes, are received by 2nd place through honorable mention winners.
JUNIOR BAKERS. First place in two Junior baking contests (Youth up to grade 12) is $25 cash (each), a beautiful blue ribbon and other prizes. Entries that place 2nd through honorable mention also receive ribbons, cash and prizes. There are two special memorial "Pie Man Awards" given, one in each Junior contest. Pie Man Award winners receive ribbons, cash and prizes.
We're pleased to have Miss Vermont's Outstanding Teen 2014, from Bennington, as a guest judge, for the two Junior baking contests.

7. HINT: The judges like them WARM! :)
Our Apple Pie Festival is always a fun, family friendly event - Stay a while, after you've entered your apple pie in the baking contest and check out what over 40 craft tables offer for some early Christmas shopping, see what treasures you might find to bid on in our Silent Auction, then buy some lunch and enjoy a slice of pie a-la-mode for dessert.
