An added bonus was the East Bank Market fundraiser 'Pies For Peace'. Held to benefit Bay Area Women's Center and to raise awareness against domestic violence, this pie flinging event was a huge success.
East Bank Market (EBM) guests purchased raffle tickets for a chance to throw a pie in the face of such notables as Mayor Chris Shannon, Steve Armstrong and more.
EBM organizer Darraugh Opelski was pleased with the results and thanked everyone who helped raise $1,100 for the Women's Center.
Margaret de Hues won the pie baking contest and a $50 gift card, for her extremely delicious Pecan Pumpkin Pie entry. The French Cocount, also Margaret's, was another favorite, although ALL the entries were scrumptious.
Bustling Downtown Bay City-it's the place to be!
