Downtown Rhinelander Inc. announces Taste of Chocolate

Attention chocolate lovers! Starting this Friday there is an opportunity to purchase locally made chocolate and support local businesses at the same time.

The annual Taste of Chocolate event, hosted by Downtown Rhinelander Inc. and sponsored by Nicolet National Bank, will kick off on Jan. 29.

“Visit participating downtown businesses to purchase a $5 chocolate bar and support DRI and local businesses,” organizers said in a press release.

“This is a large fundraiser for our Downtown organization,” noted Bob Lueder, DRI President. “Visit our local businesses, purchase chocolate bars for family and friends and support your local businesses.”

DRI partnered with the Fun Factory Sweet Shoppe to produce 15 specialty chocolate bar flavors that will be sold in participating businesses for $5.

In addition to enjoying a delicious chocolate bar, you could be an instant winner, the release notes. Each chocolate bar will have ticket that could be a winner of Downtown Bucks ranging from $5 to $20 or coupons from various businesses. Only 1,500 chocolate bars will be sold.

“Plus, be on the lookout for a Golden Ticket! There are only 15 chocolate bars that have Golden Tickets and if you are a lucky enough to find one, you are entered into the grand prize drawing for $500 in Downtown Bucks,” the release states. “Customers can purchase as many chocolate bars from as many businesses as they would like in their quest to find a golden ticket.”

Chocolate bars will remain on sale until Feb. 14, while supplies last. A list of participating businesses can be found on the Downtown Rhinelander Inc. Facebook page.

Feb. 9 also marks the return of the Friday night special event. Participating businesses will have specials that night!
