The Once Upon A Pie Auction took place at Stark Hall on Saturday night to a packed crowd enjoying sweet treats and music. If you would like to see the full photo gallery, please visit The Goffstown Library Facebook Page.
Wow, what a great evening! The Friends of the Goffstown Public Library’s 4th Annual Once Upon a Pie… Baking Competition and Auction was a record-breaking event for us bringing in over $1,300 for the organization – beating last year’s pie event by a little over $500!
This amazing evening would not have been possible without the participation and support of a great many people. In addition to the wonderful volunteers who worked hard to make the event successful and the bakers who supply a broad range of delectable pies, we also saw a robust participation this year in the professional division with 12 different businesses competing or donating professionally baked pies! And last, but certainly not least, our local sponsors helped to minimize our overhead costs with their generous donations.
So without further ado, the Friends of the Goffstown Library wishes to recognize the following people and business and offer our sincerest thanks for making this year’s Once Upon a Pie… the most successful yet:
