On July 9, South Jersey cookie lovers of all ages are invited to compete with local celebrities in Haddonfield’s first “Cookie Bowl.”
During the 2022 Haddonfield Crafts & Fine Art Festival, Downtown Cookies® will host its inaugural “Cookie Bowl.” The family-friendly cookie-eating contest will take place in front of Downtown Cookies® at 123 Kings Hwy E, Haddonfield, NJ 08033, at 1:00 p.m.
Each contestant will devour as many mini chocolate chip cookies as they can in 3 minutes to compete for a Downtown Cookies® gift card, an official Cookie Bowl trophy, and a lavish gift basket loaded with items from popular Haddonfield merchants. Spectators and supporters will be invited to write down their guesses on who will win.
Anyone over age 18 can participate. A $25 entry fee will go to support Haddonfield Educational Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the educational excellence of Haddonfield Public Schools. A number of local “celebs” – school principals, town leaders, and notable residents and business owners – have been invited to participate alongside members of the public.
Participants can sign up at the Downtown Cookies® website, or on the morning of the event between 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. A donation jar will also be out on display to collect donations for the charity of choice for the event.
The event will have delicious baked goods, opportunities to win prizes, and an emcee to entertain the entire family. Take-home “Cookie Bowl” kits for kids will be available for purchase prior to the event.
