First, though a big thank you to the numerous people who stopped in sometime during the afternoon of Thursday, October 4 to peel, core and slice 300 pounds of apples!  Many hands in this instance, surely made light work. A cadre of about 6 bakers assembled the pies and got them in ovens as fast as we could.  By 9 pm we were closing up shop and 100 pies sat, boxed and ready for delivery the following morning to our volunteers at the North and Southbound Williston Rest Stops.  By that evening we’d sold 78 of those pies for an average of $17.80 a pie (as we cannot charge at the Rest Areas, it’s all by donation).  The following afternoon Michael Roche and June Hibbs sold the remainder of the pies from the front lawn.
We had a few more expenses this year than last, making our net profit about $1450.  Well done everyone!
