Thirty pies were entered into this year's Pie Off at the Nederland Community Library.
Enjoying the taste before making final decisions on the judging.
Eating pies on a November Sunday afternoon—does it get much better?
Getting a little taste of several pies is the best way to judge them.

Yes, the pies were very tasty at the 2026 Pie Off at the Nederland Library.
NEDERLAND — Nederland’s favorite fall pie contest was back at the Nederland Community Library on Sunday, November 9.
Thirty pies were entered into four different categories: sweet, savory, youth, and dietary-restricted.
There were a vast variety of pies from butternut squash to vegan pumpkin to Bourbon chocolate pecan to crabby apple pie.
Just walking into the library made your nose quiver and your mouth start watering as the air was laden with the rich aromas of baked pies. Approximately 130 people were led by the nose to the Pie Off, to taste and judge the pies.
Thirty minutes in, and half or more of all the pies were already gone. The pies must have been delicious, the event was growing in popularity, or people were very hungry on Sunday.
From observing all the people at the event and hearing, “Yum, this is delicious,” and “I need a different plate for the savory ones,” I would predict all three reasons played a part in the success of the event.
With all the talented local bakers some pies rose to be the favorites.
Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who entered a pie. People present thoroughly enjoyed eating and voting.
It was another delightful event hosted by the Nederland Community Library for the glory of great pie making and tasting.
