Feb. 7 brings third annual Chocolate Walk to Olde Towne
The Clinton Courier
The ever-popular chocolate-tasting tour, Main Street Clinton’s Chocolate Walk, is back for its third year on Saturday, February 7.
For $10, ticket-holders can enjoy a day of treats, special discounts and a keepsake tote.
Tickets, which are limited, are now on sale, and organizers point out that last year’s tour sold out.
“We sold out at 175 tickets last year, and we have upped that limit to 200 this year!” said Main Street Clinton Assistant Director Ashley Hammack. “Since this event is always such a hit, I have a feeling we will sell out again this year.”
More than a dozen Olde Towne businesses will be participating this year, including gift shops, boutiques, restaurants, hair salons, a gallery and more.
“There will be another passport this year,” said Hammack. “Participants can stop at each participating business to receive a stamp. Once they have received all stamps, participants will turn their passport in at their final stop and be entered to win Main Street Money, which can be spent at any business that participated in the Chocolate Walk.”
There will be sweet treats galore for ticket holders, upping the appeal for all ages.
“Businesses have offered anything from Hershey’s kisses to brownie bites to chocolate-covered strawberries,” notes Hammack. “Part of what makes this event so fun is seeing how creative our businesses can get with such a popular ingredient!”
The Chocolate Walk will be from 10 a.m until 2 p.m., but Hammack notes that check-in ends at 11 a.m.
“It is come-and-go, though I recommend coming earlier to ensure you get the freshest treats!” Hammack advised. “Check-in ends at 11 a.m., so be sure to get there in time to check in, pick up your tote, and kick off your chocolate journey through Olde Towne!
