Volunteers prepare plates of food at the 1989 Wauka Mountain Chicken Pie Supper. After an 87-year history, the event, usually held in mid-February, will not be held this year.
After 87 years of satisfying chicken lovers while raising thousands of dollars for its host school, this year’s traditional Chicken Pie Supper at Wauka Mountain Multiple Intelligences Academy will be replaced. Kimberley Boyd, Wauka Mountain’s Parent-Teacher Organization president and former Chicken Pie Supper chairwoman, said after evaluating suppers held the last several years, the PTO concluded costs began to outweigh the benefits of holding the pie-centered fundraiser. “Chicken pie is a long-standing tradition, and we thought over the past few years on how we could modify it to make it less work intensive and more profitable, but we couldn’t make it what we wanted it to be,” Boyd said.
