The amazing moldy pies of the 2011 Montgomery County Fair
This year's Montgomery County Agricultural Fair had oversize cows, playful pygmy goats and adorable piglets running races. But there was another life-form lurking in the wings. After days of sitting around in hot and humid weather, the baked-goods exhibition had become completely overrun by mold.
