Moms, preheat your ovens and rev up your rolling pins. Idler’s Appliances is searching for the next award-winning apple pie during the 30th annual Mom & Apple Pie contest that begins in April and culminates at the SLO Home Show on May 4, 2013. Contestants can sign up at any Idler’s Appliances store.
Local celebrity judges will taste their way through the preliminary rounds. The first round begins Saturday, April 20 at Idler’s Appliances in Paso Robles and a second round takes place on Saturday, April 27 at Idler’s in San Luis Obispo. For the first time ever, the Idler’s Mom & Apple Pie Finals will take place at the SLO Home Show at the Alex Madonna Expo Center.
“We are really excited to be partnering with the SLO Home Show for this signature event,” said Don Idler of Idler’s Appliances. “We are certain the attendees will thoroughly enjoy our historic Mom and Apple Pie event.” All entries must be double-crust, traditional apple pies made from scratch and made at home. Only moms can enter and have the chance to win a KitchenAid gas range, valued at $2100.
“Our Mom & Apple Pie contest is all about tradition and simple ways of bringing family together,” said Idler. “Most of us have a memory of delicious smells coming from the kitchen during the holidays or when Mom bakes something sweet for the family to share. Mom & Apple Pie is about capturing family and home.”
Apple pies that make their way through preliminary rounds will participate in the championship round at the SLO Home Show at Alex Madonna Expo Center on Saturday, May 4, 2013.
Previous celebrity judges have included Lynn Diehl, John Linn, Pepper Daniels, Dave Hovde, John Reger, Dave Congalton, Carina Corral, Dick Mason, Bruce Ray, as well as many city officials and past Mom & Apple Pie winners.
