The third annual WUPE Pie Action hits the air beginning at 9am this morning on Lite-96 to raise money for the Whoopee Warriors Relay for Life team. The annual event, which takes place at the WUPE East Street studios, auctions off pies of every description to the highest bidder. Last year, the auction brought in $10,000 dollars for the American Cancer Society. Area business owners, political figures and other dignitaries bake the pies. Even North Adams Mayor John Barrett is getting into the act again this year and baked a pie for the auction. The pie auction will be "live" on WUPE beginning at 9am. WUPE radio personalities, Cheryl Tripp-Cleveland and Dave Isby, will serve as auctioneers. This report was compiled by WUHN/WUPE Radio, Pittsfield
