CHERYL MICHAELSEN'S EGG PIES
Rockland, dubbed "Pie Town USA" by the Food Network is living up to its name as planning is underway for the 9th annual pie-a-thon to celebrate National Pie Day (National Pie Day is celebrated each year on Jan 23rd). The town of Rockland, ME will go pie-crazy on Sunday, January 27, 2013 from 1:00 - 5:00pm when the Historic Inns of Rockland are joined by Rockland, ME businesses and restaurants to welcome hungry pie eaters to the town for the 9th Annual Pies on Parade Pie Tour. Sample more than 40 different pies at businesses, restaurants and inns throughout Rockland, enjoy tours of common areas and some guest rooms at the inns and participate in a silent auction.
Cheryl Michaelsen from the Berry Manor Inn is just one of the venues participating.
A printable version of Cheryl's recipes can be found on the 207 Kitchen section of our website.
