First and foremost all, a special thanks to Sean Jindrich for being the driving force behind this event. Sean has done more than help raise a bit of money for the Artist In Residence program, he pulled off a great event that reached across all segments of our community.

Second, a thanks to all the volunteers and pie bakers who helped make this work. A tremendous amount of effort went into making this event succesful.

The event has raised $4700 and counting, meaning we have about $2000 left to raise for the project. Don't forget to order your Monona Pie Cookbook featuring the recipes from the Pie Party. Were hoping Cookbook sales will complete the fundraising for this project.

So who won? The students of course!
