It's all good: Clarifications made regarding Rich Hill records broken

I stand CORRECTED in my post declaring “new records” for the annual “Famous for the 4th” pie auction. Apparently my memory is falling apart, along with my body, after 30 annual pie auctions!

First, 55 pies was NOT a record. I have been informed that we once had 60 pies to sell. (It just FELT like a record number after getting through that many!)

And secondly, $5,100 for a pie was NOT a record for a single pie. We had one bring $6,500 previously. (When you have folks that support “a cause” by paying $5,000 or $6,000 for a pie, does it really matter?)

My apologies for my errors.

I will NEVER intentionally misrepresent the facts, but I might get carried away in appreciating all those who make this event as amazing as it is!
