The 6th Annual Bucktown Apple Pie Contest is taking place this Sunday at Holstein Park, and Gale Gand of Tru will be on hand to help pick the winner. Think you have what it takes to please a seasoned restaurant veteran? Well, you can still enter the contest by registering here, but be sure to check out all the rules and regulations below before you do. Not so handy in the kitchen with all that flour? Just grab a fork and indulge in the fruits of everyone else’s labor. It’s really hard to leave this contest still hungry.

Once again, the competition will support The Friends of Holstein Park.
