Killington Parks and Recreation Department is still accepting registrations for the Fourth of July Parade and the inaugural Pie Baking Contest. The theme for this year’s parade is “50 Years of Johnson Recreation Center.” “Gather your friends, colleagues, and family and enter as a float or walking group,” said Emily Hudson, town rec director. “All floats must be family-friendly, but participants are encouraged to get creative!” “Your float or group theme does not have to match the parade theme,” Hudson added. Those interested in participating in the parade are encouraged to register by Wednesday, July 2. The recreation department is also hosting an inaugural Pie Baking Contest for participants to compete for the title of “Best Pie Baker” in Killington. Pies (along with your name and a list of ingredients) should be dropped off at the Johnson Recreation Pool House prior to 12 p.m. on Friday, July 4. Participants are encouraged to use disposable pie dishes. Competing pies will be judged by a panel of judges prior to be putting out for the public to enjoy. Additional awards will be awarded for: Most creative pie, prettiest crust, best fruit pie, and best non-fruit pie. Winners will be announced by 3 p.m. on July 4th.
