SPARTA, MO — Today, January 23, is National Pie Day. The Christian County Trumpet honored 2 Sparta business owners with a pie from Village Inn in Ozark.
Libby Lea Phillips, pharmacist at Phillips Pharmacy, received a Caramel chocolate pecan high calorie high taste pie.
She got to choose since it’s ladies first!
Barber gets his ‘cut’
The oft bragged on Sparta Barber Adam Struble was also awarded a Village Inn pie (banana cream was all we had left) in honor of National Pie Day today.
We salute Phillips Pharmacy and Struble’s Barber Shop in Sparta. Congratulations!
Best for last
We saved the best pie for last.
Karen Matthews, Christian County Treasurer, is famous for her homemade pies.
Her hand crafted, melt-in-your-mouth homemade pies sell for $100 or much more at area auctions.
Karen’s hubby, Roy, sometimes bids highest and wins what his wife won’t give him for free! After all, he has to smell the pies baking but can’t always have a taste!
“This is the best pie I’ve ever had!” Malachi exclaimed between eager mouthfuls.
I concur.
Happy Pie Day!
