FARMINGTON — Approximately 160 voted for Best Take-out Pizza in Franklin County at the Taste of Franklin County event held April 6 at the Community Center, along with the chamber’s Business Showcase.
The Dugout Bar & Grill was the winner of both categories, cheese pizza and specialty pizza out of the five businesses that particpated.
The event was open to any business that makes pizza in Franklin County. Social media had the information, and letters were sent to many that have online information. Also participating were Arkay Pizza, Calzolaio Pasta Co., The Homestead Kitchen and Mosher’s Seafood and More. The competition was close by all counts. What is pizza without a beer? Beer samples were offered by Tumbledown Brewing and were a big hit.
The chamber said in a news release it hopes to grow the event next year, as well as the Business Showcase. Pizza makers that want to participate may look for social media posts next year. Sponsors of the event were Franklin Savings Bank, NextEra Energy and The Friends of Wilson Lake. Others in attendance were as follows Sun Media Group, WKTJ, Project Linus, Safe Voices, Maine Wood Concepts/Fletcher’s Mill, Woodlands Senior Living Center, Sparkes Hearing Services, Redzone Wireless, United Way of the Tri-Valley Area, Dreamin’ Fahm and Love Grown.
There were live performances by the Clef Notes of the University of Maine Farmington, along with Holly Robertson who sang and played her guitar. Maine Wood Concepts/Fletcher’s Mill brought Easter Eggs and painted them with the kids.
