Sunday’s date, 3.14, represents the first three numbers of Pi 3.14 the mathematical constant.
The seemingly never-ending number is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
Its Greek name shares the same pronunciation of an American classic pie, of course.
Baked Pie Company in Arden had a Pi Day Special kind of a pie party. Slices of pie were $3.14 each, and pie flights and whole pies were $3.14 off as well.
“People love to celebrate something. I called my sister this morning and wished her a Happy Pi Day, and it felt like a birthday celebration,” said Baked Pie Company owner Kirsten Fuchs.
