Volunteers ensure success of WCA’s Pie Breakfast

After a three-year hiatus, volunteers were back in action on Saturday, July 15 for the WCA’s annual Pie Breakfast.

WCA board members Rachel Seamans and Amber Gove, organizers extraordinaire, ensured a fun and flavorful event. The young and the young at heart were thrilled the Pie Breakfast, first served in 2010, was back.

“Throughout the morning pies kept streaming through the door,” said Gove said. “We had more than 80 pies this year. It was a FABULOUS response!”

Cooks and bakers included: Kim Baer, Ann Davis, Darlene Delano, Margaret Doody, Kate Douchette, Carlyse Evans, Bob Evans, Jessica Ferren, Joyce Gawron, Amber Gove, Chris Jenssen, Kristin McCarthy, Carol MacDonald, Chris Melcher, Katherine Merrill, Julia Noreika, Donna Reade, Janet Schwartz, Jonathan Schwartz, Rachel Seamans, Donna Sprague, Susan Ware and Glennie Lebaron.

The Dream Team – folks who worked in the kitchen and also helped with the supper that evening at the Wilmot Bandstand concert – included: Lorraine Acosta, Hayden Brown, Max Brown, Kate Doucette, Meg Dugan, Carlyse Evans, Amber Gove, Chris Jenssen, Chris Melcher, Katherine Merrill, Jonathan Schwartz and Rachel Seamans.

“The seafood chowdah was the best I’ve eaten outside New Jersey,” one Bandstand Supper diner proclaimed. “Congratulations to Amber Gove for her culinary expertise!”
One volunteer said: “When we first started to set up with the warm temperatures and humidity, I thought this is going to be a long evening but the four hours flew!”
Thank you everyone who helped with the Pie Breakfast and Bandstand Supper. We couldn’t have offered these two events without you!
