| Elizabeth Centre Residents Have A
Great Time During Octoberfest Pie Baking Contest |
|
|
|
This year’s Elizabeth Centre Octoberfest Day featured a special
pie-eating contest that proved to be very popular with the residents of the
facility.
After tasting fifteen different pies, the judges selected Germaine Laurin’s raspberry pie as the winner of the first place prize.
Germaine,
who is shown seated in front of the group, baked the pie with the help of a
family member, Linda Perreault. Others in the photo included: Henri Fortin,
seated on the far left, Dan Draper, Administrator of the Centre; Louise
Portelance; Vicki Vincent, 2nd place winner with an apple pie;
Andre Rivest; Sonya Hearty, 3rd place winner with another applie
pie; and Ron Dupuis.
Dan Draper, Louise Portelance, Andre Rivest, Ron Dupuis and Henri
Fortin were the judges of the contest. They had a taste of each of the
fifteen pies and then rated them on a scale of one to five. Following the
prize presentations, the residents enjoyed eating the rest of the pies as a
fitting conclusion to their barbecue lunch.
The Elizabeth Centre is
located on
Main Street
in Val Caron and
is home to 128 low- to total-care residents.

|
| A total of fifteen (15) pies were entered in the contest. |

| Residents waited for the judging of the pies so that they
could enjoy the dessert session of the lunch, which included an outside
barbecue. |

variety of social and recreational events. |

fifteen entries. From the left: Dan Draper, Administrator of the Elizabeth
