PLEASE HELP RECYCLE!
Drop off your plastic bags and canning jars at the orchard and we'll re-use them!
We're always looking for wagons for people to use when they go to our pumpkin patch - feel free to drop off your old or un-used wagons at the orchard!
We're also happy to take any picnic tables you're getting rid of - even if it's just the 'bones' of the table.
Thanks!
Thanks!

2015 Apple-Palooza Schedule
The Apple Pie Contest is an event that is here to stay at Lapacek’s Orchard. As we're gearing up for this year's Apple-Palooza on October 24th I'm going to take a minute to share with you some of the winners from the past and a preliminary itinerary for this year.
![melissa fischer winner melissa fischer winner](http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-J8raRaTiER8/VhRkpWLMdSI/AAAAAAAC-RE/DDQT1SQ4s3Y/melissa%252520fischer%252520winner_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800)
2014 Apple Pie Winner – Melissa Fischer
2013 Pie Winner - Josie Tollaksen with her ‘Apple Pie for your Soul’!
2012 Pie Winner – Brenda Endres
2011 Apple Pie Winner – Melissa Walsh
The judges will decide winners for – Best Pie Overall and three runner ups, Most Creative Pie, and Prettiest Pie. The entire event is meant to be fun so I hope you decide to ‘throw your pie’ in the ring and give it a go!
If you are interested in baking a pie for the contest please send me an email: {lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com} with your name and pie baking story (if you have one – if you don’t have a story, no worries). Plan on arriving at the orchard by 12:45pm with your pie (earlier than that is just fine too …we open at 9 and I can make arrangements with you if you need earlier than that). Pie viewing and photo’s will take place at 1:00pm and judging will start at 1:30pm.
Once judging is complete - I'm guessing around 2:30/3:00ish... we'll be cutting all the pies up into slices and selling them for $1 a slice. 100% of the money made from the apple pie slice sales will go to the PAD Parent Group of the Poynette School District. Food Fight Restaurant Group is once again sponsoring our Pie Contest – a free pie every month for a year from Monty’s Blue Plate Diner!!!
During the first Apple-Palooza, in 2011, we discovered that there’s quite a bit of standing around while the pies get judged. We’re going to have a ‘Carved Pumpkin Contest’. People of all ages can bring their carved pumpkin – anytime before 12:45, put it on display and then we’ll all walk by and vote for our personal favorite! I’ll have a prize for the best carved pumpkin – still to be determined.
There are so many opportunities for you to have a fun at the orchard on this day! I can’t wait! I have an event set up on Facebook so be sure to share with your friends/family about this great FREE event too!
