Mayor Maureen Tobin believes this year’s Chocolate Walk in Lincoln Park will be the biggest ever.
Thirty businesses are participating in the event from noon-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7.
Participants begin at Ikaros Hall, 1677 Fort St., where they receive a registration sheet. As they visit each business, they receive free chocolates and a sticker to place on the sheet. When completed, they return the sheet at the hall to be entered in a raffle.
There will be an adult and children’s raffle baskets, with a possible runner up in each category. The baskets are worth up to $1,400 and will contain gift cards, cash, jewelry, chocolates and more, all donated by area businesses.
“They have been so generous. I’m overwhelmed by their kindness,” Tobin said.
This is the 10th year of the walk, designed to give Lincoln Park businesses more exposure, she said.
