Celebrate a Utican Favorite: Tomato Pie Day is Back for 2018

Tomato Pie lovers rejoice! Tomato Pie Day is back for 2018 and you can be a part of the celebration coming up in April.

According to the "Annual Tomato Pie Day" Facebook Event, you'll also get to learn about how tomato pie is made, and hear stories of how people have carried down the recipes, generation to generation.
