Egg Festival Cheesecake, Quiche and Pie Contest

  PITTSFIELD – Calling all cooks – self-taught or taking classes!  The annual Cheesecake, Quiche and Pie Contest will be held Friday, July 20 at the Sebasticook Valley Elks Lodge at 140 Middle Street in Pittsfield, across from the post office parking lot.  The fee is only $1 per entry and it must be submitted by 10:30 a.m. that morning to the Elks Lodge.  If you need to drop off your entry earlier, you can bring it to the town office after 8 a.m.  Registration forms are available at the Pittsfield Town Office and on line at www.pittsfield.org.

   The rules are simple: Each recipe must include 3 eggs and must be made from “scratch.” All entrants must be Maine residents and be 16 years or older, and more details are printed on the application.

   Judging will begin at 11 a.m. and be based on appearance, taste, overall impression and creativity.  Prizes will be awarded in each category and have been donated by these community-minded sponsors:  Anglers Seafood Restaurant, C. Jones Floral, Jazz Hair Salon, Oz Hair Salon, and Pizza Hut.

   A luncheon will take place directly after the judging from 12 - 1 p.m.  Entries can also be purchased at that time to take home or purchased later at the Pittsfield Town Office from 1 – 5 p.m. while supplies last.  For more information, please contact the Pittsfield town office at 487-3136.
