A “Chocolate for Charity” event.
“Trick or Treat for grownups” is often how the Lititz Chocolate Walk has been described by patrons. This year on Saturday, Oct. 11th , 2007, from 10-4 p.m., chocolate candy makers and pastry chefs from the central Pennsylvania area will be in town. In a one-of-a-kind experience, chocolate walkers stroll the streets of Lititz and nibble their way towards chocolate paradise! With over 20 chocolate tasting locations, walkers can sample decadent delights while enjoying the beauty and shops of downtown Lititz. Please remember that the Lititz Chocolate Walk is a “rain or shine” event.
To participate, Chocolate Walkers need to purchase an official Chocolate Walk button and punch card. Buttons go on sale on July, 1st 2007 at participating locations for the advance sale price of $15.00 until Oct. 1st when the cost goes up to $20.00 per button. Button sales are limited to 2000.
Because of the limited number of buttons available, advanced button sales are strongly encouraged! Checks made out to “The Kiwanis Club of the Lititz Area” may be sent to Gypsy Hill Gallery, 47 E. Main St., Lititz, PA. 17543. All advanced sale buttons can be picked up at the Lititz Welcome Center/Train Station on the day of the walk. NO buttons will be mailed out this year. Buttons are also available at other downtown locations. A list of locations will be posted closer to the date of the walk.
We added musical entertainment to the walk a few years ago which has been a welcome addition and this year we are bringing back our “Chocolate Scavenger Hunt”. A dark chocolate taste test will be back by popular demand. There are also other ideas in the planning stages to make the walk even more fun than it already is!
All money raised from the sale of buttons, will be donated to the Lititz Public Library, Schreiber Pediatric Center and other local Kiwanis sponsored youth activities. Hosts for the Chocolate Walk include the Lititz Area Kiwanis Club, Wilbur Chocolate Company, Linden Hall School for Girls, and Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites.
