Cumberland County 4-Her's sold pie to the patrons of the Toledo Fire Department's Chicken Dinner during Toledo Spring Festival on Sunday, May 20. Special thanks to all the volunteers that made this year's event a success. Without the excellent pies from area bakers and the time volunteered, we could not do this. All your time and effort is appreciated. The pie stand raised $390.00 profit, which will be used to offset the cost of 4-H publications.
