South County 'Pie Run' to Attract Hot Rod Army

The following post was submitted by local resident Joanne Riley and edited.

In 1993, the owner of West River Market in Galesville, John Whitman, decided to accommodate a few of his customers’ requests to stay open on Thanksgiving morning.

Will Radigan and his friends from the local hot rod club welcomed the opportunity to get out of the house and drive their hot rods to the market to pick up their Thanksgiving pies. Thus, the first annual Pie Run was born.

Seventeen years later, this annual tradition has continued to grow and become a Thanksgiving Day event. Last year, more than 350 classic cars arrived at the café between 8-11 a.m. and 875 freshly baked pies were sold.

From 7 a.m. to noon, breakfast is available.

For more information on the Pie Run or a place to order, call 410-867-1992.

Here is a list of pie flavors that will be available, freshly baked at the South County Café:
