/24-7PressRelease/ -- Tootie Pie Company, Inc. announced today that they will be serving up an extra sweet treat for customers by teaming up with Stone Oak Youth Theatre & Dance Company by providing entertainment and complimentary pie samples in celebration of National Pie Day.
National Pie Day is a holiday created by the American Pie Council dedicated to the celebration of pie. As part of our American heritage, this day is a perfect opportunity to pass on the love and enjoyment of pie eating and pie making to future generations. And what better way to celebrate this day in San Antonio then to enjoy some pie from Tootie Pie Company (a retail, corporate, and wholesale manufacturer of high-quality, handmade pies headquartered in Boerne) and some pie song parodies from "Premiere", a street team performance group from Stone Oak Youth Theatre (an educational theatre and performing arts center for kids and teens).
"For years, fans from all around have been 'singing' the praises of Ruby Lorraine 'Tootie' Feagan and her award-winning pies (winners of The National Pie Championship). We are excited to have the talented kids from Stone Oak Youth Theatre, 'singing' songs about Tootie and her gourmet pies to help us celebrate National Pie Day" (including her good ol' fashioned Texas Pecan pie, pictured right), says Don Merrill, Tootie Pie Company's President and CEO.
According to Maryclaire Becan, owner/director of Stone Oak Youth Theatre & Dance Company, "The concept behind our street team - a new program that started this year at SOYT - is that they are an elite and multi-talented group of young performers who become the ambassadors for our theatre and for any companies we partner with at all public events. What better company for them to premiere their group, now named 'Premiere', than a company that makes a product that they are already passionate about...pie!"
