The Patio restaurant was filled with family and friends for the first ever, 'Shut yer pie hole' contest on Thursday, Feb 1 as part of the regional Snowdown contests & events.

Patio restaurant owner Emily Meisner, served up cream pies and cheered on the contestants, who competed in three separate age categories from youth to adult.

Pie eating contestants, who were not allowed to use their hands, were judged on how much pie they could eat in just under a few minutes - bibs and safety glasses were mandatory.
