Virtual 71st annual Apple Pie Jamboree outflanks COVID

“Our virtual event was a fun and successful way to raise funds to support youth activities when they can happen again,” said APJ spokesperson Tracy Miller. “We will be able to pay for swim lessons and gifts at the Pateros Winter Festival. We can help the ski program, sports, and music.”

APJ volunteers baked, sold, and delivered 67 pies and the virtual raffle came through big as well.

“Our virtual raffle was sponsored by Methow Law and sold over 400 tickets to participants from Illinois, Idaho and all parts of Washington,” said Miller. “Unfortunately, we had to pull 10 passes to Slidewaters (Slidewaters Waterpark, Chelan) the day before the draw when we heard it would be closed.”

Miller extends a huge thank you to the businesses that participated and those who bought pies and raffle tickets.

“We hope to see you next year,” Miller said.
