First Annual Cherry Pie Bake-Off
High 5 Pie

Do you like cherry pie? Would like, say, a dozen different varieties in one, ill-advised, tooth-destroying day? High 5 Pie on Madison is hosting its First Annual Cherry Pie Bake-Off on Sunday afternoon. Local baking professionals and amateurs alike will be competing for prizes and prestige with their own twists on an American classic. Look for our coverage of the event this week.

Warm weather begs for cold drinks and hot dancing, but not that Euro house music kind. Summer deserves deep-pocket rhythm that grooves. So find yourself a dance partner who doesn’t want to cuddle on the dance floor and check out Waid’s Sunday.
