Chocolate pie anyone? If you hesitated too long last year, you’ve got another opportunity to get in on the best and tastiest pie eating contest around! That’s correct; the pie eating contest is back at this summer’s 4 th annual Hanover Harvest Festival, Saturday, August 2.

This year’s event fee is sliced in half with only two age categories: ages 5-10 pay $2 while ages 11 and over will be $5.

New this time around will be the size of these delicious pies. All pie sizes are four inches, and whomever finishes their pie first wins. First place winners in the 5-11 age group will be awarded trophies, while those 18 and over will score a gas gift card.

The event takes place at 1 p.m. in Settler’s Park on the main stage. Space is limited to ten participants in each age category. Contestants will be seated at a table and not permitted to use their hands while eating.

Pre-registration is strongly recommended, and waivers must be signed by a parent for contestants under 18 years of age.
