Upcoming Events

Pie Social

April 27

Wimberley Valley Museum, 14068 RR 12

You can’t go wrong with pie and hot dogs (in that order), and it’s all to raise money for the Wimberley Valley Museum. The pie competition covers five different categories, and judging takes place for fruit, cream, nut, specialty, and kids’ pies. Ribbons are given for first, second, and third places in each category. A grand prize for Best Pie receives a special award, and all winning pies are auctioned. All funds raised from selling slices of pies and hot dogs go directly to the Wimberley Valley Museum. A pie-eating contest is also part of the day, along with music provided by Marvin and Laura Bottera.
