Take a bite out of Antrim County Fair’s Great American Pie Contest! Although Antrim has one of Michigan’s smallest fairs, the pie contest has one of the biggest purse sizes. Area pie makers compete for $100, $75, or $50, depending on winning first, second, or third place. Held on Friday, Aug. 14, with walk-up registration beginning at 3pm, the judging follows, and winners will be announced between 4-4:30pm. Afterward, you be the judge as pies will be sliced and plated with vanilla ice cream! For more info, check the Antrim County Fair Facebook page or call (231) 584-2587.
