National Park College’s (NPC) Hospitality and Tourism program won third place for
best taste and best presentation at the 15th Annual Chocolate Festival hosted by the
Cooperative Christian Ministries and Clinic (CCMC) Sunday.
This is the third year in a row the group has won at the festival. They tied for first
place in 2017 for people’s choice and won first place last year for best taste. This
year students made 800 mini waffle cones dipped in milk chocolate, rolled in crushed
pistachios and filled with 2 mousses: orange dark chocolate mousse and white chocolate
pistachio mousse.
Hospitality and Tourism instructor, Eve Victory said, “We participate in the Chocolate
Festival to give the students direct exposure to both the behind-the-scenes work of
events in the industry as well as the opportunity to practice real time customer service
and utilize their soft skills directly with the community we serve.”
