Rich Hill pie price sets world record...
 |
| Jerry Mumma |
Total cost to Jerry? $3,300.00. The first time he had it for $700...
A crazy man? No. In fact, Jerry is just a strong supporter of his community and #1 fan of the pie baker (and granddaughter) Jara Mumma of Rich Hill Mo.
Jerry came back this year and did it again- top dollar was $3,100.00 for a peanut-butter banana pie on a Hammond Pretzel crust. And Jerry didn't even get a bite of it. “I tell you what, my wife cut it up in little bitty pieces and handed it out to everybody who wanted to try it,” Jerry said. “She just passed it out to people who were bidding against me.”
You might think Jerry Mumma does all this just to show support his of granddaughter, but that's not the whole story.
This is how Mumma gives back to the community he is proud to be a part of.
On the other hand, auctioneer Larry Hacker seized the opportunity to officially record the auction just in case it might be a record breaker. And it was. Jara's peanut butter banana pie beat the existing record by almost $1,200.00 set in Britain.
"I wasn’t paying attention to it," Mumma said. "Doesn’t matter much. I don’t care. Just as long as the community’s happy and they get along."
According to Larry Hacker, the grand total for this year's pie auction raised more than $10,000.
Will Jerry Mumma be back for next year's pie auction? We're pretty sure he will. After all, he really, really likes pie auctions...
Rich Hill still under boil order
There is a boil order for the entire city of Rich Hill until further notice. A boil order means the water is contaminated and you are asked to boil all drinking and cooking water for at least 3 minutes. Throw away all ice made in your freezer.
