The inaugural BLAST Pie Baking Contest was held at the Fourth of July BLAST at the Jacobus Community Park on July 4. Entrants were required to make a fruit pie from scratch. The pies were judged on their overall appearance, the taste of the filling and crust, and the overall impression of the pie. A variety of pies were entered in the contest, including a raspberry pie, a pear pie, a blackberry-blueberry crumble pie, cherry pies, apple pies, and a blueberry pie. Joanne Senft won first place with her blueberry pie, Kendra Little won second place with her cherry pie, and Nicole Morouse won third place with her blackberry-blueberry crumble pie.
The remainder of the pies were sold by the slice as a fundraiser for the Jacobus Lions Club Inc. The Jacobus Lions Club Inc. organizes and runs the Fourth of July BLAST in Jacobus each year. Any funds remaining after expenses for the BLAST are used to support the Jacobus Ambulance services and support programs in sight, hearing, and other areas of need in the community and beyond.
