On October 2nd, 2013, the Institute for the Health and Security of Military Families collaborated with Fort Riley and HASFR (The Historical and Archaeological Society of Fort Riley) to prepare apple pies for the upcoming Apple Days festival, which is held annually at Fort Riley. Our evening consisted of helping with various tasks such as apple washing, coring, cutting, mixing, assembling pies, and making the toppings. We were able to bring a group of 14 K-State affiliated students and volunteers, and we partnered with HASFR and other groups who were willing to aid in the pie-making process. Our evening led to over 300 pies being made and later sold at Apple Days that weekend.
