North County Pie Day Auction Benefits Future of Tillamook Agriculture, Food Roots – Saturday, Jan. 25th at White Clover Grange

Posted on January 19, 2020 by Editor

Two Tillamook area nonprofits are serving up locally-made deliciousness to raise funds for programs that support Tillamook agriculture. The 12th Annual North County Pie Day, taking place Saturday January 25th at 2:30pm and presented by Manzanita Grocery & Deli, features dozens of generously donated local fruit pies, custard pies, savory pies, vegan pies, gluten-free pies, and various pies-but-not-pies for auction and for feast.

Guests will also enjoy an all-you-can-eat pie and ice cream feast following the auction at the White Clover Grange in Nehalem (36585 Highway 53). This annual event is a joint fundraiser for Food Roots and the White Clover Grange. Proceeds benefit programs at both nonprofits that support the future of Tillamook agriculture through work with farmers and suppliers directly, as well as community members and students.
For just $10 in advance or at the door ($5 for children 12 and under) attendees will enjoy the exciting pie auction with the funny and entertaining Susan Tone, returning for her sixth year as auctioneer. Local bakers, chefs, and restaurants generously donated their time, efforts and pies in support of this event with impressive goods that can’t be found anywhere else.
Doors open at 2:00pm so come early for pie viewing and a good seat. There’s nothing better to get you through a winter’s afternoon than bidding on a delicious, locally made pie and then celebrating by eating as much pie and ice cream as you can, all while supporting two great community organizations.
Learn more and purchase advance tickets at foodrootsnw.org/pie
The presenting sponsor of North County Pie Day is Manzanita Grocery & Deli. This event’s other sponsors include Hans Tonjes, Real Estate Broker; Mohler Co-Op Store; and Finnesterre.
