Chowdafest Announces "Boo & Chew" Promotion

Norwalk, Conn. – Chowdafest, presented by Stop & Shop, announces a fun new Halloween promotion for kids of all ages called “Boo & Chew” at this year’s fall festival being held at Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk on Sun. Oct. 12th from Noon to 4:00 pm.

“It’s not a trick, it’s a treat” said Jim Keenan, Chowdafest Chairman. Every kid who comes dressed for Halloween will be given a raffle ticket for a chance to win a gift certificate for four to the PEZ Visitor Center in Milford CT. Two winners will be randomly selected at the conclusion of the event and winner does not need to be present to win. “I’m wondering how many kids will come dressed as Chef Ref, our mascot or their favorite Pez dispenser” he added.

Raffle tickets will be available at the kids section sponsored by Stop & Shop. “Little necks are important to us” noted Keenan. “We have an entire section set aside where kids get free chef hats to decorate with stickers, markers and crayons. But the biggest thing they get is the right to vote just like the adults. You might be surprised how seriously they take the privilege. It’s fun to watch them grab their parent’s hand and take them to all the soups they want to try”.

Chowdafest is the adult equivalent of candy on Halloween, where big kids get unlimited sampling of chowder, soup & bisque, then vote on their favorites. Admission includes sampling of craft beer, award winning cheese & wine, farmers made ice cream and more. There’s even an Italian section called “Ciao”dafest where you can sample fresh baked artisan bread, sauces, pasta, Italian sparkling water or take a test drive in an Alfa Romeo or Fiat. There’s also the new ChowdaMex section where you can sample chips and salsas.

Chowdafest benefits Community Plates which rescues unused food from restaurants and distributes it to the hungry in the state. General admission tickets for adults are $10 in advance online or $15 at the door. $5 for kids (6-12 years old. $25 VIP tickets are still available with benefits including entrance an hour early to the event.
