9th Annual Bubby's Pie Social

What: Come one, come all! We are seeking pie bakers for the 9th Annual Bubby’s Pie Social as a benefit for New York City Public Schools including P.S. 150 in Tribeca, and the High School for Food & Finance.

Last year’s Pie Social was a huge success. One hundred participants showed up to present their pies and over 500 people showed up to eat those pies. We’d like this year to be even bigger!

Your entry fee and homemade pie entitle you to 5 free tasting tickets* (you can share them) and a big blue ribbon. This is a social, not a contest, and we want to encourage all kinds of baking efforts, foster community, and  celebrate pie in all its varied glory.

Bakers report at 11:30AM for check-in and free coffee. Volunteers will circulate to help bakers so that they can taste and roam the social. We recommend bringing pies that do not need refrigeration (cream, ice cream, and custard pies are discouraged) because they can’t withstand four hours of sun and are likely to spoil outside on a warm day. We encourage savory pies as a good counterpoint to all of the dessert pies. We also encourage a strong turn out from our youngest bakers.

Lemonade, seltzer, coffee, and lots of kids running around with pie on their faces should make for a lovely autumn day. So sign up now and be a part of it all!

When: Sunday Sept. 30, 2012  |  12pm-3pm
Where: One Main St., Dumbo  |  Rain or Shine
