Historic Inns of Rockland - Pies on Parade Package 2012 - Berry Manor Inn.

January 23, 2012 marks National Pie Day, according to the American Pie Council. Because nothing tops a cold winter day like a warm piece of pie, the Historic Inns of Rockland will celebrate pie with the 8th Annual Pies on Parade, Inn-to-Inn Pie Tour, scheduled for January 22, 2012, 1:00-5:00pm (rain, snow or shine!). Along with a wonderful collection of recipes to take home and samples of more than 40 different pies, the inns will offer tours of common areas and some guest rooms. In June, 2007, the Food Network named Rockland Pie Town USA when renowned chef, Bobby Flay, came to challenge the “Pie Moms” to a Throwdown.  To live up to their Pie Town reputation, a number of Rockland restaurants and shops will join in the pie-fun offering samplings of everything from chicken pot pie to pizza pie, and also once again trolley service between all of the participating businesses will be provided by All Aboard Trolley.

Proceeds from this event benefit the Area Interfaith Outreach Food Pantry. With need at an all-time high, your participation becomes all the more important. Over the past seven years, nearly $50,000 has been donated from this event to help provide food for Midcoast families.

As a bonus, Rockland businesses will offer pie tour goers samplings and the chance to learn more about their winter menus.  All Aboard Trolley will provide complimentary shuttle service between each of the pie stops.
