'Goodbye Summer' Pie-Eating Contest Helps Library

First thought: Shut your pie hole, I can eat a lemon meringue and help our Long Beach libraries?

Second thought: Where's the line?

The First Annual Goodbye Summer Pie-Eating Contest will commence at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Marine Stadium farmer's market, and you're $6 entry fee goes straight to the Long Beach Public Library Foundation.

Adults, I regret to inform you that it's a kids-only pie wolfing derby, because winners take home delicious The Little Tart Bakery pies. (Next year, it is on.)

We want to see your photos! We added a few here to give you ideas. Post yours here or email them to me at nancy.wride@patch.com.
