Event Description: New Pioneer Food Co-op is pleased to announce their Cedar Rapids Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday, March 7, from 2-4PM at New Pi Cedar Rapids, 3338 Center Point Road NE! The store’s doors have been open for over two months, giving them time to settle in, and sign up over 1,200 new Co-op owners. Everyone is invited to join in the celebration! The party will feature gift basket giveaways every 15 minutes, live music by Pennies on the Rail, and dozens of Iowa food producers sampling their local goods – from hummus to beer to cheese, chocolate, and dumplings. There will also be both gluten free and vegan treats. Look for the bicycle-powered smoothie blender, and a bacon sampling of New Pi’s house-cured and -smoked bacon! Families are welcome! Kid’s activities will include face painting and planting seeds with New Pi Soilmates (which provides free organic garden education and school garden support to schools throughout Linn & Johnson Counties). They’ll also have an opportunity to meet the red wiggler worms that help make food waste into nutrient-dense compost to grow beautiful gardens. Visitors will enjoy samples of signature house-made goods including New Pi’s famous cakes, smoked meats, and food prepared by New Pi Cedar Rapids store chefs Matt Steigerwald (previously owner and chef at Lincoln Café) and Shawn Price. The Grand Opening will kick off with an official ribbon cutting and welcome at 2PM. Five $100 Shopping Sprees will be given away, which shoppers can enter with every shopping trip at New Pi Cedar Rapids Saturday, February 28 – Saturday, March 7.
