As most of you know, we had the famed pie party this past Tuesday (check out the new banner photo!). Sunny Lane from KWWL was there to document the event, and the clip should air on Monday, March 10 at 10p, with an encore airing at Tuesday at 6:30a (for the early risers). So keep your eyes peeled and set those TiVos and DRVs!
In addition to the news spot, two local papers have done stories about the pie phenomenon.
Be sure to check out the Cedar Falls Times’ story here, as well as Linda Wither’s story in the Waverly Democrat here.
Sue is meeting with the Waterloo Courier this week, so stay tuned…we may have a bigger article coming!
Let’s keep the media fervor going! Spread the word to your friends and family about Slice of Life. Tell your friends and family to tell their friends and family, and on and on.
