Chowderfest is a community program of the Saratoga Convention &
Tourism Bureau that takes place during Winterfest weekend.  It is a
fun thing to do on a cold winter day!  Here's how it works:  Pick up a
ballot form at any participating establishment, taste different soups
and chowders for a $1 a cup (3oz. serving) and vote for your favorite!
 Complete your ballot form and pick up your official Chowderfest
Long-sleeve T-shirt for $7.00! Ballot drop-offs and T-shirt locations
will be at the Saratoga County Arts Council and the Saratoga Springs
Visitor Center.

Coming back for the third year in a row will be the "Dog Chow Down"!
Starting at 1:00pm at the Saratoga Downtowner Motel, a contest between
the stores participating in making dog chowder will compete to win the
"Best Canine Chowder" award.

Again this year, FREE Trolley rides and Photocards! Get from one
location to another faster and easier by hoping on the Trolley. The
starting point for the Saratoga Horse and Carriage Trolley is under
the flag at Lillian's. There will be several stops throughout the city
including Beekman Street, City Center, The Holiday Inn/Primo's a the
Inn at Saratoga and up and down Broadway. If you see the Trolley, flag
it down and hop on!

Smile! Be on the lookout for the team of professional photographers
from Photocard Day. They will be snapping fun, free photos of you and
your friends and family enjoying your bowl of chowder. Shortly after
your photo is taken, your FREE printed Photocard will be available for
pick up at the Visitor’s Center on the corner of Broadway and Congress
St. At the end of the event, all Photocards will be uploaded to
www.photocardday.com, where you will be able to share with friends on
Facebook.
