It's not like you're going to be in short supply of chocolate, what with Valentines just around the corner; but if you just can't wait a week to dive into that heart-shaped box, drive to Belmont Shore this weekend.
Their 6th Annual Chocolate Festival is happening this Saturday from 1:00 to 4:00PM.
There will be chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate from many of the Belmont Shore businesses. Purchase your ticket book for $10 at: Dean Anthony, Hide & Seek Boutique, La Strada, Mail Boxes Etc. or Sweet Jill's. For a full list of participating businesses visit www.BelmontShore.org.
The Chocolate Pie Eating Contest will be held at 3:00PM on Corona Ave. (next to Sweet Jill's). The only requirement is that you be older than 6 years old. Adam Richman or that Nathan's hot dog guy can also come if they want.
