(NBC/ WLIO) - The City of Wapakoneta, Ohio celebrated a hometown hero's walk on the moon.
Residents held a celebration to honor legendary astronaut Neil Armstrong’s one giant leap.
It's been 50 years since the astronaut's walk on the moon. Friday, a statue was unveiled in his honor.
And to top it off, organizers placed an order with a bakery in Chattanooga, Tennessee that created something out of this world -- a giant Moon Pie.
The dessert weighed 55 pounds and was stuffed with marshmallows and chocolate.
The bakery also sent a duplicate of the Moon Pie to Cape Canaveral for its 50th celebration of the Apollo 11 mission, giving everyone a chance to dig in and enjoy a sweet treat.
