It was quite the sight in Belleville's Downtown Core yesterday!
The streets of downtown buzzed with excitement as people bustled from one participating restaurant location to the next during the much anticipated Savour The Chill Soup Contest.
It was very encouraging to see so many on the streets on Saturday. What was especially encouraging were the appreciative comments I overheard while standing in lines.
Many had not visited some of these locations before, whether they be restaurants or other shops of interest. Either the existence of these stores were unknown or they hadn't made time to drop in yet.
As of last count, soup ballots for the contest sat at approximately 650, and that's from those who took the time to vote. This is very encouraging indeed!
The question from many out on Saturday is what else can be done to keep this momentum going. What other types of events can be created so participation, as witnessed this weekend can continue?
The After Party at Earl & Angelo's also brought many downtown during the evening to witness a beautiful display of fireworks while indulging in Beavertails, gourmet hot chocolate and hot dogs!
Saturday was a testament to what can be created downtown. As stated previously, it was a sight to behold all day long!
Congratulations to all that participated to make this happen; the BDIA, Bren's Bakery, Earl & Angelo's and all the participating restaurants who willing set up to receive the many that came in out of the cold!
