It has been 50 years since the image of an auburn-haired, freckle-faced little girl wearing a cowgirl hat first appeared on snack cake cartons.
From the first Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie, to the more than 160 varieties today, Little Debbie snacks is grateful for consumers who have made its snacks a part of their families.
To say thank-you, McKee Foods Corp., makers of Little Debbie snacks, will host a 50th anniversary party for the community on Sunday. The event will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Collegedale Bakery Store, 9515 Apison Pike. The event is free and open to the public.
The party will feature a variety of activities, including the world’s largest Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie and a build-a-cookie station, games with prizes, and sampling Little Debbie products.
Guests may sit in the driver’s seat of a tractor-trailer to see what it is like for long-haul drivers who deliver snacks across the United States and Canada.
