National Pie Day
LOL:
The American Pie Council created this day simply to celebrate the
pie.
National Pie Day is a special day that is set aside to bake and cook all of
your favorite pies. On this day, you are also encouraged to bake a few new pie
recipes. And most importantly, it's a day to eat pies!
A great way to celebrate National Pie Day is to bake some pies and give
them away to friends, neighbors, and relatives. You never know, you may be
starting a tradition of pie giving between your friends and family.
The American Pie Council sponsors the National Pie Championships. Some of
the best pie makers in the world enter their pies. Perhaps you will enter and
win the "American Pie Council's Best Pie in America" award.
Origin of National Pie Day:
National Pie Day was created by the American Pie Council. The American Pie
Celebration began in 1986 to commemorate Crisco's 75th anniversary of "serving
foods to families everywhere."
