The Pie Contest will again be featured at the 2025 Jackson’s Mill Jubilee. The event is scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday, August 30 2025, in the EEC Building. Contestants may enter at the Historical Gate and park. A golf cart will be called for entrants’ transport to the EEC Building. The pie maker receives free admission and directions to the location. Contestants are invited to enter pies only between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. No pies will be accepted before or after these times. Do not leave them. Judging will begin at 3:00 p.m. and awards will be given when the judging is complete (tentatively scheduled to be between 4:00 and 4:30 p.m.). Ribbons and cash prizes will be awarded. For the first time, a medal will be awarded to the Best of Show pie. Contest participants and visitors may attend the awards ceremony (4:30-5:00). After the ceremony, pie bakers will be able to share their pies with people in attendance if they so choose.
