Sister Schubert Book Signing

In 1989, the entrepreneur now known to the world as "Sister Schubert", aka Patricia Barnes, was baking her soon to be famous Yeast rolls in the kitchen of her home in Troy, Alabama for her small catering business and for family and friends. She volunteered to donate some rolls, based on her grandmother's heirloom recipe for "Everlasting Rolls" to the holiday frozen food fair at her church. From 80 pans worth of orders to a 80,000 square foot state of the art facility that produces 1 million rolls per day, Sister Schubert has created quite a Roll Dynasty. Patricia released her first book Sister Schubert's Secret Bread Recipes in 1996, and her second book Cast Your Bread Upon the Waters in the fall of 2009. The proceeds of the books benefit the Barnes Family Foundation, which has donated more than 2.3 million dollars to charities, scholarships, historical preservation, and the creation of a home for abandoned children in the Ukraine.
The Pine Needle, at 1319 Dug Gap Rd in Dalton will be hosting a book signing with the famous "Sister Shubert" next Thursday, August 19th from 4 until 7 pm! Please call 706-278-0090 for more information.
