National Pie Day, created by the American Pie Council®, is dedicated to the celebration of pie. As part of the American heritage, this day is a perfect opportunity to pass on the love and enjoyment of pie eating and pie making to future generations.
The contest kicks off Snowfest, a national ice carving competition held annually in Frankenmuth.
Michigan Apple Committee is a grower-funded nonprofit organization devoted to promotion, education and research activities to distinguish the Michigan Apple and encourage its consumption in Michigan and around the world. For more information, visit MichiganApples.com.
