The Wimberley Annual Pie Social, hosted by the Wimberley Institute of Cultures, celebrated another successful year last Saturday at the Wimberley Valley Museum grounds. Cloudy but pleasant weather kept attendees comfortable as they enjoyed a day filled with family fun, food and friendly competition.
The tradition began in 1990 when a small group gathered at the Dobie House on Old Kyle Road to host an old-fashioned pie social. Now held at the museum, the event offered homemade pie slices for sale, hot dogs, musical entertainment, a competitive pie baking contest and a lively pie eating competition that raised funds for the preservation of the Wimberley Valley Museum.
The pie eating contest was judged by Chef Jay Bachman, who also provided the pies for the competition. Doug McLean won the Senior Division, while Maxwell Seymour claimed victory in the Junior Division.
