At The MoonPie General Store's grand opening celebration on Saturday, June 6, a giant MoonPie was uneveild and then eaten.

The MoonPie General Store is located at 48 North Market Street, downtown.

Update June 11: The Post and Courier has a very lengthy write-up of the opening.

Also, I had missed this post by the City Paper about the store's soft opening.
