The Chocolate Hike 2023

The Chocolate hike has returned! Join your fellow hikers and chocolate lovers for this Pre-Valentine's Day hikette on the Noland Trail. This revered annual event challenges participants to explore their wildest chocolate fantasies by creating culinary masterpieces for fellow TATCers to sample.
We’re changing things up a bit for 2023. This year, EVERYONE will be a judge. Yes, you get to vote for your favorite treats. Entries with the most votes win. Prizes will be awarded.
Here's how it works: Meet at the Mariners Museum (100 Museum Drive, Newport News, VA, http://www.marinersmuseum.org) at 9:30 AM. We meet in the parking lot by the museum entrance across from the start of the Noland Trail. Bring a chocolate confection (that you have created) for your fellow hikers to sample. After a brief “safety” talk, we'll hike the Noland trail (~ 5 miles) taking multiple breaks along the way to continue sampling the entries. At the conclusion of the hike, votes will be tallied and prizes will be awarded for the tastiest and most unique creations. And then we'll eat lunch afterwards!
I’M ASKING FOR ANYONE WITH A TRUCK, HATCHBACK OR FOLDING TABLE TO HELP PROVIDE SPACE FOR ENTRIES!
