PizzaFest and Annual Auction 2012 at Children's Museum of NH

On Friday, November 16, pizza aficionados of all ages can cast their votes for best regional pizza restaurants at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire’s Fourth annual PizzaFest and Holiday Auction. The event will be held from 5-8 pm at the Children’s Museum of NH in Dover. Attendees will be able to sample different varieties of pizza from local purveyors, then vote for their favorites. All proceeds benefit the museum’s innovative education and outreach programs.

Seacoast area pizza restaurants will be serving up both cheese and specialty pizzas for guests to sample and judge in the categories of Kids’ Choice Cheese and Grown-Ups’ Choice. A judging panel will crown the Judges’ Pick for Best Pizza, Best Crust and Most Creative Toppings.

In addition to all the pizza-tasting, there will be activities for children including games, interactive exploration of exhibits and face painting. This event is family friendly but adults on their own are also welcome, as this is a great opportunity to start holiday shopping.

This year’s Holiday Silent Auction will offer dozens of great gift ideas for family, friends, business associates and more. Items up for bid will include:

• Ski passes to Wildcat

• A Portsmouth Harbour Cruise for four

• An authenticated baseball signed by Adrian Gonzalez

• Handmade jewelry designed by Jodi Frechette

• Children’s art lessons by Tess Feltes

• Admission passes to area attractions like the Butterfly Place and York’s Wild Kingdom

• Restaurant gift certificates.

• And much more!
