The results are in and Brookfield bakers nearly made it a clean sweep, taking home prize ribbons in all categories and divisions except one in the Apple Country Fair Pie Contest.
The annual contest attracts bakers from neighboring cities and towns, but this year, the locals brought their best efforts to the table and it paid off:
Adult Division: Jennifer Cipro of Brookfield, first; Ashlee Swanson of Brookfield, second; Tim Kane of Brookfield, third. Teen Division: Morgan Collette of Brookfield, first; Krista Janson of Acton, second. Youth Division: Camden Breuer of Brookfield, first; Chase Breuer of Brookfield, second; Spencer Cipro of Brookfield, third.
Even the single out-of-town winner has ties to Brookfield: Krista is the granddaughter of the Swanson family, famous for their award winning apple pies.
