Pie Day… Good News! (And a little bad news)
The good news is our generous community has helped us raise over $11,000 to support our building maintenance and ongoing upgrade fund – we appreciate you all!!
All 24 of our fabulous auction pies, and the 2 pies we raffled, went to loving homes to be the focus of delicious dinners and desserts.
In addition, a gourmet pie creating experience taught by master baker James Lambert was won by 3 ladies, to be conducted at an ocean front locale – how scenic and fun!!
The top bid on a pie ended up at $300.00 for a gorgeous cheesecake covered with a Marionberry topping, made by Grange member Evelyn, after a spirited sibling rivalry bidding joust. (Full disclosure – yours truly prevailed) BUT, not to be upstaged, my bidding opponent captured the coveted Auctioneers Apron by purchasing a “no calorie” pie (donation} for $500.00… Thanks Sis!!
A HUGE round of Thank You applause goes out to our wonderful fine local businesses who generously added over $2100 in sponsorships and donations to our cause – we couldn’t have achieved such a successful Pie Day without your support!

Also, kudos aplenty go out to Sue C and Gayle S for their efforts to provide all of us a fine and unique-themed decorating job on our hall, AND to our grange members and wonderful team of volunteers…
OK, the bad news- from a Feast Pie perspective that was experienced by the table of 35 delicious pies contributed by over 2 dozen local bakers and businesses, more than 130 attendees of Pie Day ‘24 demolished the Feast Pies-along with a dollop of creamy Tillamook Ice Cream- Thank You Nehalem Food Mart! Many empty pie plates were seen exiting the Feast Pie table during the melee, and a lot of happy friends of our Grange experienced the expertise of our local artisan bakers.
With all that said, we fondly say farewell to Pie Day 2024… and all of us at White Clover Grange are excitedly looking forward to Pie Day 2025!! See you there!
