The Top Ten Reasons to Run the Town of Celebration Marathon & Half Marathon:

Enjoy some fresh baked pie with your friends and family. Better yet, why not pie-in-the-face someone you know? This year, we are adding a new “slice” to celebrating the heavenly dessert. Who doesn’t love a pie eating contest, “name that pie” blind taste testing contest, pie exchange (applications available at Town Hall), kids activities, and more!

‘Pie in the Face-Penny Wars’ will begin on January 3, 2015, and end on January 23. Jars will be placed in Town Hall with the name and picture of Celebration community leaders (see below). This is your opportunity to see your local police, deputy, school principal, high school coach, executive director and others get a pie in the face. Each person will designate a charity or organization that their “war pennies” will go toward.

Bring your pennies (nickels, dimes, and quarters, too) to Town Hall and place them in the jar of the person you want to see get pied. We will weigh all the jars at our Pie Day event at Lakeside Park.

Pie-me-in-the-Face Participants:

	Captain Andy Lang, Osceola County Sheriff’s Department Charity: Relay For Life
	Gloria Niec, Executive Director, The Celebration Foundation Charity: The Celebration Foundation
