Hello everyone.  To those of you planning to bake a pie or pies for the upcoming Fall Festival booth on September 13th, I would like to clear up some confusion.  The Eau Claire Health Department requires all pies to be cut and packaged at church and then brought over to our booth.  DECI requires compostable materials. Each piece of pie will be placed in a compostable Clamshell Take Out container, which I have already purchased.

I have also purchased pie tins for two reasons.  One – every slice of pie will be uniform.  Two – when a pie baked in the pie tin is cut into 6 pieces, each piece fits perfectly into the Clamshell Take Out container.  Pies baked in a larger pie plate might not fit into the required container and therefore can’t be used for our sale.  Yes, I would rather bake my pies in my Longaberger Pie Plate, but not the case this time around.  It’s fine to bake your pie, or pies, with one of your own pie plates, but please make sure it is the same size as the pie tins I have purchased.  I will have pie tins available on Sundays.

Lastly, due to no refrigeration at our booth, we are limited to what kind of pie we will be selling.  Here are the choices: Apple, Blueberry, Cherry or Peach.  Please let us know if you have any questions as we would be more than happy to help.

Please pray for nice weather on the day of the Fall Festival and keep in mind DECI is expecting 10,000 people to attend.  That equates to “hopefully” selling lots of pie. 

 Thanks,

Marc & Deb
