Where's the Pear? Moragans are Voracious for Fruits Pomaceous

Pears, glorious pears-and loads of scorching sunshine dominated the recent 14th annual Pear &Wine Festival held at Moraga Commons. Some 2,000 visitors browsed 70 booths, met police, fire and public safety representatives, kibitzed with political candidates, petted cats and dogs up for adoption, while enjoying music on stage from LittleDog2. Visitors sampled local wines or reveled in the grape stomp. Kiwanis volunteers sold 425 whole pies and more pie by the slice, all baked by Nation's and benefitting the Moraga Park Foundation. A baker's dozen contestants were judged on their pear pie recipes and a half dozen more scarfed up their just desserts during the pear pie eating contest (a two-pronged event, offering a competition for both young and old(er). It was a sweet and succulent end to a pomaceously good day!

From left, pie-eating contestants Steve, Zohar, Eric and Donovan celebrate with the DJ/emcee.
