Pie Joust
Burien's 1st Annual Pie Joust was an overwhelming success Friday, August 19!

People of all ages covered the grassy knoll in the middle of Burien's Town Square from 3:30 - anxious with anticipation for the 4:00 start - until about 8:30 - with dim light in the sky remaining. Whipped cream flew for almost 5 hours. The contestants were smeared, and not even the audience was safe.

At day's end, the jousting arena was slick and scented with hand-cranked whipped cream. Many a greasy jouster walked away through the streets of Burien toward the nearest pub, still smiling.

The Pie Joust was a fund raiser for B-Townies. Proceeds will help kick off our initiative to ignite Burien's bicycle culture: Bike racks, bike-sharing, cycling advocacy, SaFaRis (Safe Family Rides), Bike Fair… all sorts of events and resources for getting around town on two wheels.

This year’s Pie Joust was sponsored by Mick Kelly’s, Bicycles West and Alaskan Brewing.
THANK YOU to our generous sponsors, and all those that participated by "getting creamed for the cause".

(Sully has been doing this for years in Seattle, we secured his approval for importing the event down to B-Town as a charity event. Kudos Sully!)
