Author and Film Director Beth Howard will visit the Henning area to give us first look at her new documentary film “PIEOWA, A Piece of America.” Author of several books using pie for healing and community building, this film celebrates the power of pie to bring us together in a time of division. A free sneak preview of this 75-minute documentary will be shown at the Cornerstone Church in Henning at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 13 followed by brief Q&A. On Saturday, June 14, Beth will be available at the historic Wadena Train Depot from 10-11:30 a.m. for Book Signings and Q&A.
