Commissioner Maxwell gets "hit" with a Pie

Comment Up

Commissioner Scott Maxwell and Barbara Jean Weber

Several weeks ago, Barbara Jean Weber asked Commissioner Scott Maxwell what pie he liked best as she was going to bake his favorite for the 3rd on the 4th Event (July3) pie baking contest. He answered, "Rhubarb or Coconut Cream." Barbara didn't come through that day for Scott but last night, saying she was a "man of her word," she presented him with a coconut cream pie.
