array of chocolate treats and other sweets for all chocolate lovers along with
other sweets to satisfy the whole family.

The Homemade Chocolate Dessert Contest will
take place for those who think they have a recipe for a chocolate dessert
worthy of an award.  A panel of judges
will sample the desserts and choose winners in three categories: Chocolate
Cakes & Pies, Chocolate Cookies & Brownies and Unique Chocolate
Treats.  Entry forms are available on the
events page of the Belmont Shore website. 
It costs $10 per dessert to enter. 
The contest tent will be located on Corona Ave. (only judges may sample
the desserts).  The contest begins at 2p

Starting
around 3:15p those who would rather eat chocolate than make it are welcome to
enter the Hof’s Hut Chocolate Pie Eating Contest.  Contestants will race each other to see who

trophy.  Sign up the day of event on Corona

the event.

The Valentine Heart Walk is from
1:30p to 3:30p.  Don’t be surprised if
you are walking in The Shore and someone tells you have won a prize from a
Belmont Shore business! That’s because you were in the right place at the right
time and you are standing on a heart.

Activities that
include face painting, ballooning mural drawing along with entertainment will
be sprinkled along 2nd street.
