Ravinia District announces Cookie & Cocoa Crawl

The Ravinia District of Highland Park will host its annual Cookie & Cocoa Crawl from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6.

New this year, children accompanied by an adult will take part in an interactive Cookie Craft (and Cocoa) Scavenger Hunt of participating businesses throughout the District.

Each child will start at 594 Roger Williams Ave., the southeast corner of Roger Williams and Pleasant avenues, where children accompanied by an adult will pick up a collection bag courtesy of Gilbert Orthodontics along with a scavenger hunt form.

Children can visit with Santa at 595 Roger Williams Ave., enjoy a DJ spinning holiday tunes in front of Viaggio, grab a cup of hot cocoa outside of Abigail's, and visit other participating businesses along the path.

Kids will then choose to follow one of three scavenger hunt “paths” based on the cookie design they would like to enjoy. At participating businesses along the path, kids will pick up one cookie form in the shape of a snowman, gingerbread man, or mitten, accompanied by a cup of frosting, a bag of candy pieces (based on the one path they choose), as well as a make-your-own Olaf craft project. All children will end at the final stop where they can decorate their cookies and put together their Olaf.

Stops on the Cookie & Cocoa Crawl include cookie pickup locations: Astra Coffee Roasters, Steep Ravine Brewing Company and Yana’s Barbershop & Speakeasy, as well as Abigail’s, BWB Shakes, Griswold Home Care, Happi Sushi, IQ Bar, Mil Colibris Bakery & Café, Ravinia Barber Shop, Ravinia Books, Antiques, Etc., Spool Clothing, Vintage Rescue, and Zolboo Skincare.

Special thanks to the Ravinia District Special Service Area 17 property owners for sponsoring, all participating businesses, and the Cookie & Cocoa Crawl sponsors, including: Arbor Terrace, Carolyn Cerf @Properties, Conciurgent Care, Foss Swim School, Gilbert Orthodontics, Matchmaker Bookshop, and Wayfarer Theaters.
