Pie Trail Votes Show Many Like Sweet Indiana Life

How sweet is it to be a Hoosier?

At least as sweet as 1 million pies, because that’s how many one local company makes each year.

Hoosiers like pie, and they’re gaining national attention for the sweet treat.

The Hoosier Pie Trail is ranked fifth in the national USA Today’s 10-Best Readers’ Choice food trail contests.

The Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail of New Mexico and Mississippi Gulf Seafood Trail are ranked in first and second place, respectively.

Mike Wickersham, president of Wick’s Pies in Winchester, Ind., said national attention focused on the pie trail would be great for tourism and an economic boost for Indiana.

“There are a lot of interesting things in Indiana,” Wickersham said.

The contest cites the 2009 action taken by the Indiana General Assembly declaring sugar cream pie to be the state’s official pie.

They know something about pie, and they make some killer chicken-and-dumplings.
Church suppers in the midwest are memorable!
