(00:22):
is always a lot of fun at FortRiley.
Apple Days is coming and shesays she's not going to be a
part of the show, but I'm goingto throw her into the fire
anyway.
Christine Benny is the Directorof Military Relations and she's
brought a couple of friendsalong.
Apple Days is a big thingbecause you know you're very
involved in the Fort RileyMuseums and this is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, so well, as you all know, I have many roles,
and one of my other roles is Ido help with the Friends of the
Fort Riley Museums and we havetaken on the Fall Apple Day
Festival by making the applepies, and we brought the pie
queens with us today.
But Apple Days will be October18th, it's a little bit later
than usual this year, but it'llbe a great time.
It'll be, of course, on FortRiley, on the artillery parade
(01:11):
field, and so we're lookingforward to having everybody from
the community to come out andlook at some tanks and eat some
pie.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Tanks and pie Tanks and pie and this is just not any
pie.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
This is not any pie.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
This is not any pie, we're going to learn more about
the pies here in a little bit,because that's where we bring in
the pie queens.
We got Christy here and Christyand Kelly.
And what's the differencebetween your crowns?
One's got red jewels and one'sgot green.
Is that because you're bothcoordinated with your tops?
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Did you notice that?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Did you plan it that way?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
accidental on purpose , uh no, they gave us a little
bit of free reign to have, um,you know, our own desire for our
crown.
So I guess red's my color andkelly went with green.
But now we match.
We got the the first infantrydivision colors going on you
don't have a sash oh, they'recoming.
Sorry, they're a little delayed.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Is there a pageant for you?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
There was no pageant.
We just graciously volunteeredour time to be the queen this
year.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Aw, that's really nice of you.
Has this been a lifetime goalof yours, Kelly?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
We have been stationed at Fort Riley three
times and I've never beeninvolved in Apple Days, so this
is a pretty big deal.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You said pick me.
Yep, I kind of did.
I'm like green they were likewe're looking for another one,
and I was like oh really,Green's a good army color, and
so you got the big red one,Jules.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Do you have the big red one, did you?
Speaker 1 (02:37):
do that on purpose.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Well, red's just always been my favorite color,
so maybe it was meant to beright All right.
My husband said that I guessI've been the queen of our house
for a while.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's time to get a real crown and spread my royalty
.
Do you get to wear it aroundthe house or you just put it on

wear them on Apple Daysthroughout?
We?
Speaker 4 (02:59):

That's the plan, kelly, and Ihaven't quite mastered the crown
application technique, so maybewe need to to phone a friend,
miss America.
Maybe she'd come down and helpus to secure it better.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And then I have people, I have contacts.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
If you know someone, we'd be happy to take it.
Not Miss America, miss Kansascontestants OK we need a little
support here, because mine'sgetting a little wobbly.

So, Christy, these are veryspecial pies.
There's a secret recipe.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
There is, and we have been swarmed to uphold the
secrecy of it, but this pierecipe comes from Libby Custer
herself.
It's the same one they'vepassed down for every year.
We have done a few littlemodern modifications.
We have done a few littlemodern modifications.
We buy frozen, pre-cut applesand that helps us in our pie
(04:54):
making to make them fresher,more efficient, and it helps
with our health safety standards, just to make sure that we're
adhering to all of those, so wedon't have to hand cut every
apple like we did.
For how many years?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh, for many, many years, many years.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
But you know, there's a few things there, but it's
the same exact recipe.
It's the same amount of sugarand butter and apples and pie
crust.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
What's the apple of choice?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
This year we have chosen the Granny Smith frozen
apples.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Good call.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I think, you know, in years past.
I'm not quite sure what exactapple that Libby Custer had
years past.
I'm not quite sure what exactapple that Libby Custer had, so
maybe we've gone a little bit offree range on that.
But you know, I think, Granny.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Smith's makes a good pie, always has, always has.
So Kelly, who makes all thesepies?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
We get partnerships within our community that help.
We've got a partnership withJunction City High School this
year, so some of their culinaryclasses will be helping make
some of the pre-made frozen piesthat we're doing and then we
will put out sign up geniusesand looking for mostly spouses
and other community members tocome in to the defect on the
installation and make thosefresh pies for the day of the

Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's good to have a Christine along.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I know MRZMAC so they'll share our frozen pie
pre-sells and we also dosomething called Pies for
Soldiers, so people can alsopurchase pies to then hand out
to soldier units on Fort Riley.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
And I'll just step in there for a second.
We have a Pie for Soldiersprogram where you can buy an
extra pie and we'll give it tothe units at Fort Riley.
So the ones that aren'tdeployed that are staying back
during the holidays Usuallytheir units do a Christmas or
Thanksgiving and we'll provide apie or two for their dinners
(07:51):

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Pies are $20 this year.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Okay, yeah, do you all agree on that?
Yeah, christy, you were.
It didn't say who I should askthe question.
I'm trying to get some balancebetween all three of you here.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, it's good.
Yeah, $20 for the pre-sale andthen actually I'm going to defer
to Christine for the day of forthe slice and then ice cream.
I'm not sure what that price is.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, I believe.
Let's see it's $5 for a sliceof pie, I believe, and then an
extra dollar for a scoop of icecream.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
But it's a nice size slice.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You don't, we don't, jip you on that is it a nice
size scoop.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I will request that is a large ice cream scoop all
right and this is on the 18thgot a lot of work to do.
You're a little over a monthaway.
You still need some volunteers.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I know you, kelly, you had said that you still need
some, some spouses yes, we willbe, reaching out, yep soon with
our signups, as soon as wefinalize dates and stuff and
times that we can get into thosedefects to start making those
pies.
And we'll have a signup geniuson our um social media page for
(09:02):
the friends of the museum thatyou can find us on do you need
volunteers for any other purpose?
we do have volunteers that comeout and help run the day of the
booth, as far as like scoopingthat ice cream, serving up pies,
cleaning up the area andkeeping it all nice and tidy for
us so we do have.
Speaker 2 (09:20):

and help that day.
A lot of our spouses on posthelp that day.
And then we also work with theJROTC program from Junction City
High School.
They will help cut those slicesand scoop those scoops of ice
cream and help us hand out thepie slices.
So we so we do have a lot ofvolunteers.
I think if your organizationwants to help bake a pie, I
(09:43):
would just reach out to friendsof the Fort Raleigh Museums and
we will set you up and have yourorganization come and make a
few pies.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Christy, this has just got to be a dream come true
for you.
I'm so happy for you.

It only took me 42 years to achieve my goal of
becoming a queen.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You finally become a beauty queen.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
That's right, with my hands knee deep in pie making,
right?
So just a little tidbit to addto the volunteers In order to
volunteer to help us make thepies, you have to complete the
Army Food Handler Certificationcourse.
It's online, it's very simpleand that will be part of our
sign-up genius that we'll alsoshare on our social media pages.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
So you have to wash your hands.
That's what they're going totell you.
That we'll also share on oursocial media pages.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
So you have to wash your hands.
That's what they're going totell you.
We have to make sure we knowhow to wash our hands, and it's
a slide presentation and thenyou just take a quick quiz at
the end.
So no pressure.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Kelly, after your reign as Pie Queen, are you
going to hang up your chair orare you going to try to go for?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
it again.
We'll see how they think I didthis year, but I'll be here for
at least one more year on theinstallation, so we'll be happy
to help out again in the future.

So we so we do have a lot ofvolunteers.
I think if your organizationwants to help bake a pie, I
(09:43):
would just reach out to friendsof the Fort Raleigh Museums and
we will set you up and have yourorganization come and make a
few pies.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Christy, this has just got to be a dream come true
for you.
I'm so happy for you.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
It only took me 42 years to achieve my goal of
becoming a queen.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You finally become a beauty queen.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
That's right, with my hands knee deep in pie making,
right?
So just a little tidbit to addto the volunteers In order to
volunteer to help us make thepies, you have to complete the
Army Food Handler Certificationcourse.
It's online, it's very simpleand that will be part of our
sign-up genius that we'll alsoshare on our social media pages.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
So you have to wash your hands.
That's what they're going totell you.
That we'll also share on oursocial media pages.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
So you have to wash your hands.
That's what they're going totell you.
We have to make sure we knowhow to wash our hands, and it's
a slide presentation and thenyou just take a quick quiz at
the end.
So no pressure.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Kelly, after your reign as Pie Queen, are you
going to hang up your chair orare you going to try to go for?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
it again.
We'll see how they think I didthis year, but I'll be here for
at least one more year on theinstallation, so we'll be happy
to help out again in the future.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
What's a delight to have you here.
Anything we didn't cover,Christine.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I don't think so.
I'm so thankful for theseladies to step up and be our pie
queens.
They have busy lives.
Their husbands are deployed.
I think Kelly's husband isdeployed.
Your husband is still kind ofhere for a little bit.
So you guys have all kinds oftime to make pies.
They have a lot of otheractivities in their own personal
(11:14):
lives, so I really appreciateeverything that they've done to
step up and help with this.
They've just done such afabulous job and we're very
fortunate to have them.
