Enumerate: Pi is served in Snohomish
It’s a Pi Day Bonanza at the 3.14159 … and so on. Celebrate Pi Day at 1 p.m. Saturday (that’s 3/14) with an opportunity to win the privilege of stuffing a pie in Albert Einstein’s face at 1:59 p.m. (get it?). There will be a pi recitation contest, of course, as well as other activities, games, crafts and, well, pie. (What is the ratio of the circumference of a pie to its diameter, anyway? Oh, right.)
The Snohomish Library is at 311 Maple Ave., and the program is for ages 5 and older.
