At last weekend’s family-friendly event, pie-eating contest winners were red in the face after eating a full cherry pie, compliments of Du-par’s, at the Original Farmers Market’s 85th annual Fall Festival. Happy winners, from left, are second place, Victor Viramontes (3rd year) first place, Nathan Garcia from the San Fernando Valley, and third place, Andres Jimenez from Los Angeles.  They walked away with prizes and pie on their faces.
