Various businesses will offer an array of chocolate treats and other sweets during the 14th Belmont Shore Chocolate Festival on Saturday, Feb. 10 from noon to 4pm.
There is no entry fee for the event, but tickets for purchasing dessert items will be sold at 12 for $10. Tickets will be sold beginning at 11am on the day of the event in front of Chase Bank, 5200 E. 2nd St.
Residents are invited to enter the Homemade Chocolate Dessert Contest. A panel of judges will sample the desserts and choose winners in three categories: Chocolate Cakes & Pies, Chocolate Cookies & Brownies and Unique Chocolate Treats. The cost is $10 per dessert to enter. The contest tent will be located on Corona Avenue. The contest will begin at noon, and the awards will be given at 1pm.
Starting around 3pm, those who would rather eat chocolate than make it are welcome to enter the Hof’s Hut Chocolate Pie-Eating Contest. Contestants will race each other to see who can eat an individual-size chocolate cream pie the fastest. Those interested may sign up the day of event on Corona Avenue, south of 2nd Street.
