Contest showcases tasty pies

Pies took center stage at The Cranberry Thistle in downtown Jonesborough on Saturday. The annual pie contest saw eight entries this year, with a three-berry pie earning the grand prize as well as the top pie in the fruit category. Lois Kyker’s chocolate almond meringue won in the cream category and Dean Chesnut was recognized for his banana split pie in the “other” category.
