Ten-year-old Braelyn Combe is ready for the pie eating contest to begin on Saturday during the Claremont Pie Festival in the Village. Rain clouds that blanketed the area on Friday parted for beautiful, if not a bit cool, weather for the sixth annual pie fest. Besides the pie eating contest the event featured, vendor booths, music, pie making demonstrations, an apron contest and plenty of pies. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
