MILTON - Fall never tasted so delicious.

The New Hampshire Farm Museum's annual Great New Hampshire Pie Festival takes place Sunday at noon.

Several professional bakers from the Seacoast will be featured, but there will also be contests for amateur bakers, too.

Anyone wanting to submit a pie for contest consideration should bring their entry to the museum by 11:30 a.m. on Sunday.

The contest will have five pie categories: Apple, Fruit (non-apple), Savory, Children's, and Non-Fruit like cream pies.

There will also be a kids' pie eating competition, which is always a treat to watch.

Proceeds of the fund-raising event go to help the museum.

Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for museum members. Kids 4 to 7 years old, $5 or $4 for museum members. Admission for kids 3 and under is free.

Preregistration is available at www.facebook.com/NewHampshireFarmMuseum.
