As a young boy, future president George Washington made the Cherry tree famous, with his now familiar quote “I cannot tell a lie, I chopped down the Cherry tree.” We celebrate George Washington’s Birthday and President’s Day in February.

Being the “hot pie” of the month, it is only fitting that Cherry Pie Day falls in February.
