Hoosier Mama Turns One = Lots of Fun

Hoosier Mama Pie Company celebrates its first birthday this week with a few new changes to their operation--and a scavenger hunt. Firstly, they've extended their operating hours on Fridays to close at 9pm, which will be good news to the huge line of pie-seekers that snaked out the door the last time I visited. They will also be starting pie "flights" on Fridays only, where you can select three mini-pieces from a special menu. And as an added treat, sugar cream pies are on sale this week ( a 9" for $15, and 6" for $5).

And finally, Saturday's scavenger hunt will put pie lovers to an amazing test. Participants (teams of 1-3) will compete (puzzles, games, and something involving a digital camera) for a year's supply of pie (say it with me!). Must register in advance by phone. Event begins at noon, 1618 West Chicago.
