Pie baking in Manitou Springs is serious business. Travel back in time in a good 'ol fashioned way as community members gather together the first Monday in July to compete for fame, glory, and bragging rites. (The rest of us just show up to eat pie!) Show us your skills & enter the FREE bake-off and be eligible for sweet (see what we did there??) prizes! Then stick around and cool down with Colorado Creamery Ice Cream- the treat that can't be beat, all while listening to the sounds of Little London Winds and their Big Band as you watch families toss frisbees and kick around a soccer ball in Soda Springs Park, Manitou Springs. It's like experiencing summertime as you remember as a kid.
