Museum benefit

Arlene Everett

Arlene Everett slices into a homemade apple pie before presenting it for judging during a baking contest held during the Mountain Home Historical Museum's annual pie social Aug. 16.

The effort raised close to $3,000, which will go to support the local museum and the historical events it holds throughout the year. During the baking contest, Bev Lucia took top honors with her homemade creation.
