Death by Chocolate - sponsored by Historic Main Street Merchants
Players journey from store to store eating sweet chocolate treats with a playing card containing mystery questions. You must answer all of the questions correctly on your playing card and enter it at the final destination, The Waterside Inn. Your playing card enters you into multiple drawings for an array prizes donated by local merchants. Stop by Wine Cheese and More or any participating merchant for a playing card and a list of playing merchants along with the rules to play. Any participating merchant will have a Death by Chocolate poster displayed in their window. Come join the fun on Saturday February 16, 2008. You must be 18 or older to enter in the final drawing, but you do not have to be present to win.
