The Pie Tin Toss is a game of skill in which the participant attempts to throw a two-ply pie tin into the wide mouth of a plywood polar bear. One pie tin reaching its goal wins a slice of pie; three tins wins a whole pie. Volunteers and supporters of Sustain Door will man the booth in the big tent from 10 am until 4 pm.
