$5 Activity For Kids at the Melting Pot

This is a great activity! It's cheap, fun, and for a good cause.

For those in Lexington, Ky only, you can pay $5.00 (per child) and participate in the Willa Wonka Chocolate Tour. The money goes directly to the St. Jude Hospital. Lexington came in first place, among all the other stores, to raise the most money for St. Jude in November and December. They sent me this description of the tour:

We will have stations set up throughout the restaurant with everything from Willy's Wacky Drink concoction to the history of Chocolate, to a taste test of the secret recipe for Melting Pot Chocolate Fondue. At the end of the tour the children will be invited to stay for a chocolate party with fruits and cakes for dipping into milk, white and dark chocolate Fondue's. We will give the children a Melting Pot Chocolate Bar to take home with them and in two of those there will be a Lucky Golden Ticket attached to a $25 dip certificate to the Lexington Melting Pot.

Sounds fun, huh? There are only 40 spaces available so you need to call and make reservations ASAP. Make reservations by calling this number: 859-254-MELT

I would love to hear if anyone gets to go!
