The Prince Edward Agricultural Society continues to support the Back the Build Campaign for a new hospital in Picton.

The 14th annual Picton Fair Bake-off Challenge raised $6,380 for the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF).

More than 20 entries were submitted and judged by volunteers and then auctioned off.

The best-in-show key lime pie sold for $1,100.

The funds raised by the Bake-off Challenge will support major medical equipment purchases needed for the new hospital.

This donation brings the Ag Society’s cumulative giving total to PECMHF to $34,160.
