Chefs of all ages are asked to demonstrate their talents in our first Fantastic Fun Friday Fruit Pie Baking Contest.  Any variety of fruit pie can be entered in the contest. Plan to bring your pie to the depot between 5:30 and 6pm Friday, July 2 to be part of the fun!  \u201cCelebrity\u201c judges will determine the winner.  After the judging, a small donation to the Clinton County Arts Council will get you a few extra calories; maybe even a piece of the winning pie!<br \/>\nDon\u2019t worry; you can earn those extra calories before the pie contest.  Youngsters and Oldsters are invited to join the marching kazoo band. Bring your own toy or home-made  instrument or try a kazoo as we march up and down the sidewalks of Clinton Avenue. Line up for the parade at 6:00pm at the depot, where kazoos will be given out and practiced on. At the end of the parade we\u2019ll stop briefly at the Veteran\u2019s Memorial, and then to the Depot lawn for some games and a chance to see the model train layouts and tour the old train cars.<br \/>\nBring a blanket or chair to sit on the lawn and enjoy music and an old fashioned sing-along of patriotic songs provided by the Silo Singers beginning at 7pm. The Silo Singers is a male a cappella chorus from the First Congregational Church in St. Johns.  At 7:40 the winners of the pie baking contest will be announced and pie slices will be available to the audience \u2013 and the singers! Plans are also afoot to provide the chance to put a whipped cream pie in the face of willing judges for a small fee.<br \/>\nFun Family Fridays are weekly events held 6:00 \u2013 8:00 pm through August 27. They are coordinated by the Clinton County Arts Council, which receives partial support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts.<br \/>\nSee you there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Then you shall have some Pie!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16422\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
