DULUTH - There is only one day a year to celebrate a Greek letter with a tasty triangle of pie and Friday was that day.
March 14, or 3, 1, and 4, are the first three numbers of Pi.
In math, it’s defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
The owner of Amazing Grace Bakery is celebrating Pi Day along with the birthday of Chip Stewart, the man who opened the bakery in Canal Park.
"He started Amazing Grace 18 years ago on a lick and a promise,” Marcie Stoyke said, remembering her late husband. “He started baking not knowing how to bake, but he learned how to bake and you see what has happened since then."
Stewart died of cancer years ago and Pi Day was his favorite holiday.
