CALUMET -- Calumet, Michigan, will once again celebrate one of the Keweenaw Peninsula’s iconic foods with its annual PastyFest this Saturday, June 30, 2012, at Agassiz Park.
The celebration will include The Great Pasty Chase at 9:30 a.m., the PastyFest Parade at 11 a.m., and live music, free horse-drawn tours, food, kids' games, a horseshoe tournament and a host of artisans, craftspeople and vendors from around the area beginning at 11:30 a.m.
One of the central pillars of the day is the annual pasty bake-off. The competition is free and open to all comers whether private individuals or commercial enterprises, with separate categories for each. The winners in each category will receive a copper pasty engraved with their names -- and will have bragging rights for the next year!

You can mail the entry form, take it to the office or bring it with your entry on Saturday between 9 a.m. and noon.
