Calling all bakers!

August 19, 2011, Halton Hills, ON – Chudleigh's Entertainment Farm will host the second annual Chudleighs Apple Piefest baking competition on Sept. 17.

The competition is open to the public and there is no entry fee. All pies must have at least a bottom crust and the only fruit they may contain is apple.

"Last year's Apple Piefest was an amazing success and we're excited to make it an annual Chudleigh's event," said Tom Chudleigh, president of Chudleigh's Farm.

As an added twist this year, Chudleigh's will hold a silent auction for the apple pie entries. All bakers will be required to bake two identical pies – one for the contest and one for the silent auction. During judging, spectators will get the chance to weigh-in on the best pies and place a bid.

The highest bidder for the pie chosen by the judges as "best overall" will win a 2012 family season's pass to Chudleigh's and take home the winning pie.

All proceeds from the silent auction will be donated to the Starlight Children's Foundation.
