ONCE UPON A PIE: SAT, NOVEMBER 21, 2026
AN ANNUAL BAKING COMPETITION AND SOCIAL EVENT
First hosted by the Friends of the Goffstown Public Library in 2008, the Once Upon A Pie Competition and Auction is always a fun event with bakers and tasters alike enjoying the community spirit and tasty treats of this annual fundraiser.
The Foundation coordinates the much-anticipated event in order to raise funds to contribute to the Goffstown Public Library’s capital needs. We love our 115+-year-old library, a historic treasure recognized on the Registry of Historic Places. There are a number of critically important, significant physical plant needs and we look forward to helping to address them through fundraising efforts like Once Upon A Pie.

Save the date! Saturday, November 21, 2026 at Goffstown High School.
