Description: Bob Underwood's determination brought the record back to Traverse City and the collaboration with Chef Pierre Bakeries (now Sara Lee) to create a record-breaking cherry pie weighing 28,350 pounds. Their successful endeavor not only reclaimed the title for Traverse City but also added to the city's legacy as "The Cherry Capital of the World." The 17 feet, 6 inches diameter tin used to bake the pie, which now sits outside the Sara Lee factory, has become a symbol of the city's pride in its cherry heritage and the collective effort of the community to achieve something extraordinary. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and spirit of Traverse City residents in preserving and celebrating their cherry industry and tradition. The World's Largest Cherry Pie and the iconic tin that held it have undoubtedly become a source of local pride and a tourist attraction for those visiting Traverse City. Such events and landmarks not only showcase the cultural significance of cherries in the region but also bring people together to create lasting memories and a sense of community.
