Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the longest line of pies; it is 1,477 pies and was achieved by Edgar Hensel (Germany) at Fahrzeughaus Gifhorn Süd, Gifhorn, Lower Saxony, Germany, on 26 May 2013. The line of pies measured 276.5 m (907 ft 1.8 in). The pies were all 16 cm length apple pies.
The auction was part of the Village Green Foundation's annual Pie in the Park fundraiser, held at Village Green Park, the Kingston Community News reported.
The event raised slightly more than $40,000, according to Village Green member Bobbie Moore. Last year's event raised about $17,000. The money is being raised to build a new community center. The goal is $8.2 million.
