Women "Try Pie" to Learn about Running a Business.

Wednesday, June 16Want to teach young entrepreneurs about business?  "Try Pie."  Area high school women joined the "Try Pie" business to learn the baking aspects because they "kneaded the dough."

According to Directors Megan Tensen and Sara Hellieso, 16 high school students come together to work 8-10 hours a week to make pies and then sell them in grocery stores, for weddings, and other venues where tasty pies are desired.  It helps prepare these hard-working ladies to enter the work field with much-needed job skills and responsibilities.  They make 200 – 300 pies a day which is quite an undertaking for their dedication and enthusiasm.  Written by Lynn Barnes.
