Making pies has only been in Kristie Price’s cooking repertoire for three years, yet she’s mastered the art of it to become the Best of Show winner this year in the Missouri State Fair First Lady’s Pie Contest.
Price, of Marshall, took first place in the cream pie category with her peanut butter crumble pie, and went on to win Best of Show. Price also took third place in the fruit category with her peach pie.
