About this Event
Celebrate the holiday season and support the DC State Fair in a sweet way with a pie workshop led by Maggie Downing, president of the DC State Fair Board of Directors and 2019 Blue Ribbon Winner!
You don’t want to miss this hands-on experience that includes demonstrations and guided skill-building to decorate your own pie. We will provide drinks and snacks and everyone gets to take their freshly baked apple or berry pie home to enjoy. Hone those pie baking skills just in time for Thanksgiving!
