Friday Activity - Dessert Competition
Garrett Park Pool - Hill

On your marks, get set, bake! Creativity will be on full display for our beloved Dessert Competition this Friday, 6/28 at 5pm!

Contest: All swimmers are invited to enter a uniquely crafted dessert as an individual or in collaboration with other team members. Our elite panel of judges will taste test ALL(!) submissions and award winners in a host of befitting categories. Once the judging has wrapped, swimmers will have a chance to feast on the entries. You might make it big, make it ugly, or make it scrumptious… but whichever direction you choose to head, make it fun! #nailedit

Location: Desserts should be labeled with the name(s) of their creator(s) and ready for tasting @5pm on Friday, 6/28/24.

Contest Notes:

  • There will be no refrigeration available at the pool so plan your confections accordingly.
  • If your dessert contains nuts, please indicate specific ingredients as acourtesy to our allergy sensitive friends.
  • Don't forget to RSVP - and grown-ups mark yourself attending, as well, if you can help out

***Many thanks in advance to our 11-12 parent volunteers. Please be prepared to get messy. Gloves will be provided!
