Heritage Fair 2022 Pie Baking Contest

Thanks to all the 2022 Heritage Fair bakers who stepped up, swallowed hard and put their pies under scrutiny. It was an especially tough competition this year, with a tie among two apple pies for first place in the fruit/mixed fruit division. But after all was said - and tasted – rookie pie baker Victoria Hucek of Huntley emerged as the grand champion. She received a blue ribbon, commemorative rolling pin and her name added to the permanent Heritage Fair Pie Baking trophy.

Other winners by category were:

Fruit/Mixed Fruit: First - Audrey Davis, Harvard, and Victoria Hucek (tied, apple)

Berry: Jackie Wojt, Lake Geneva, Wis. (blueberry)

Other: Mary Thennes, Crystal Lake (Derby)
