Pie and ice cream go together like peanut butter and jelly.
So, it seems fitting that Lucky Moon Pies and More will host a pie eating contest during the Mahomet Public Library’s ice cream social on July 17.
The ice cream will not be on top of the pie, but Mahomet’s own Mark Cabutti (Mr. C) will emcee the event. Cherry pie will be available in the adult contest section and chocolate pie will be available for the youth.
There is no registration fee, but advance registration at Lucky Moon or on the Mahomet Public Library website is required. Each participant will get a free t-shirt. A prize will be awarded to the overall winner in each category. Lucky Moon owners, Fred and Emily Kroner, even think it’d be great if teams competed against each other: teachers vs. administrators, firemen vs. police or football players vs. basketball players.
The library will also have live music by the Kevin Hart Trio and yard games. Visitors are asked to bring lawn chairs.
