Charles Town’s downtown merchants had so much fun with last year’s hot chocholate contest that they are holding the event again this year, on Saturday, December 16 from 4 to 6 pm. It’s a simple formula (for the contest, that is): 9 merchants will brew their own favorite hot chocolate recipes (those formulas are a secret, of course).
The locations for 2023 are Betts & Coops Boutique, Blue Heron Tattoo, The Caverns Ice Cream Shop, Corner Connection, Foils and Fades , Needful Things Emporium, Siblings Coffee Roasters, and Sustain Bioceuticals. The Hobbies Shop is also participating, hosted by Needful Things Emporium.
The public is invited to stroll down town between 4 and 6 pm, sample as much hot chocolate as they want, and caste a vote for their favorite. The Snarly Yow’s Christmas with Krampus will be at the American Legion (225 West Washington St, free admission) from 10 to 5 that same day.
