Bourbon hosts the 5th annual D.C. Pie Fest for charity
 
The 5th annual D.C. Pie Fest returns to Adams Morgan mainstay Bourbon (2321 18th St. NW)  on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2016, from 1 p.m. - 4  p.m.
 
The all-you-can-eat pie event is one of DC’s favorite institutions, featuring the city’s best home bakers competing for prizes and glory, with the city’s pie fans doing the judging. Tickets are $15 for those entering a pie and $25 for those not competing; proceeds will be donated to charity.  Tickets are available now through Eventbrite.com.
 
Home bakers hoping to compete are encouraged to bring an original, homemade pie in one of the following categories:
o   Apple

o   Fruit (other than apple)

o   Nuts

o   Chocolate

o   Savory

o   Piepourri (miscellaneous)

Any filling in a 9-inch pie crust qualifies, and there are no limits on entries. Attendees taste as many pies as they want and vote for their favorite in each category.

Pie entries must arrive between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Oct. 23, and voting closes at 3:30 p.m., with winners announced at 4 p.m. There will be six winners, but with an afternoon of delicious pie, rest assured, there will be no losers.

Tickets must be purchased in advance.

All proceeds will be donated to the Jayna Troxel Murray Foundation, which supports and promotes the interests and passions (academics, athletics, travel, fine arts, and overall personal improvement) that were prominent in defining and enriching Jayna’s life, with the intended outcome of bettering the lives of others. The foundation provides scholarships for tuition to particular educational programs (undergraduate and graduate study, travel abroad, and summer camps) that Jayna attended: St. Louis University Madrid study abroad program, Semester at Sea, George Washington University, Johns Hopkins University, and Kamp Kanakuk. Donations gratefully accepted.
