Pie Night at Aspen Village

No Comments Activities

Happy Thanksgiving from Aspen Village!

To celebrate, we decided to dedicate a whole night to pie.

 

First, there was the pie eating contest..

 

Pie Eating in Rexburg

The contestants

The challenge: Eat a whole pie without the use of your hands.

Pie Challenge

The competition was fierce, but in the end there was a clear winner:

Pie eating winner!

His pie plate was licked clean

What’s more fun than eating a pie?

Throwing a pie in someones face.

We had three gracious volunteers for the task:

 

At first, they were excited.

Then they were horrified

The throwers showed no mercy.

While the pie throwing was going on, our pie baking contest was being judged.

 

The judges

After much deliberation, the judges decided to award the $30 gift certificate to the pecan pie.

Finally, after all the fun and games, we served up pumpkin, cherry, and apple pie for everyone while they relaxed with a movie.

Think there’s nothing fun to do in Rexburg?

Not when you live at Aspen Village!
