By Chuck Sudo in Food on Jun 3, 2009 3:20PM

We here at Chicagoist are admirers of what Lisa Thompson is doing over at Blue Sky Inn and its Albany Park bakery and café. Blue Sky Inn and LUSH Wine & Spirits are teaming up to host a fundraising event this Saturday. "Picnics & Pies" will feature wine tastings; beer; a cakewalk; a bags tournament; the chance to buy picnic lunches from Charlie Trotter and Rick Bayless, among others; and a pie baking contest. The event runs from noon-5 p.m. at LUSH's University Village location (1257 S. Halsted) and costs $10 in advance, $12 at the door. To enter the pie baking contest, email here.
