COSHOCTON – The annual pie and candy auction at the Coshocton County Fair certainly brings out those that tend to have a sweet tooth. The stack of boxes piled around Greg and Heather Cox of Cox Lawn & Vegetation Service was evidence indeed that they are among those that enjoy the sweet treats.

Greg said, “It’s fun – it’s a good time. We like to come to the auction and support it. As one example, Cox bought the six remaining plates of peanut butter fudge and gave it away. Others soon followed suit and everyone enjoyed laughing as the auctioneers had friends and family members bidding against each other in fun.

Lee “Big Onion” Amos paid $125 for the Best of Show Mixed Berry pie baked by Sharry Chapman. Chapman had five best of shows among the cakes and pies at this year’s Coshocton County Fair. Amos and his good friend Tom Roahrig from Triple ‘R” Stables are among the faithful who attend the cake and pie auction each year and give their support to the bakers.
