SALE CREEK, Tenn. (WDEF) — The Hamilton County Fair’s new location at Old McDonald Farm was a success as people flooded in from all over the area to enjoy concerts, carnival rides, and the world’s largest oatmeal cream pie from Little Debbie.
Little Debbie originated in Chattanooga and was a huge sponsor for the new and improved Hamilton County Fair.
Corporate Communications at McKee, Dan Grant said, “This year, McKee Foods, Little Debbie, we’re happy to be sponsoring the Hamilton County Fair and we just cut the world’s largest oatmeal cream pie.”
The previous world record was 125 lbs.
What better way to make one even bigger for the people to enjoy Little Debbie‘s most popular snack?
“The oatmeal cream pie was about almost 200 pounds… So I think it was like 180 pounds. It’s the exact recipe of our normal oatmeal cream pie just on a bigger scale,” Grant said.
The 200 lb., 3 ft wide oatmeal cream pie was gone in almost an hour as hundreds of people lined up to get a taste of the record breaker.
“We’re just happy to be a part of the Hamilton County Fair, happy to sponsoring it. It’s a great family event, and I mean just look at the line that’s going to sample the worlds largest oatmeal cream pie… So we are just thrilled to be a part of this. Little Debbie is Hamilton County’s– Chattanooga’s hometown girl –so it’s just a natural fit for us to be a sponsor,” Grant added.
