Fall is officially here and thoughts of Thanksgiving dinner are starting to tempt your taste buds. Soon it will be time for turkey, sweet potatoes, stuffing and delicious pies to fill you to the brim. To help you select the pie you will serve up this year, stop by the Calgary Farmers' Market for their first Thanksgiving Pie Bake Off, and choose a favourite pie in support of the Calgary Food Bank. There will be classics like pumpkin and apple but you can also shake things up this year, with a saskatoon, limelight, maple pumpkin or rhubarb pie.
