On Sunday we spent the day at Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy‘s Superstar Challenge Tournament in Peabody, MA. The event began in the morning and stretched through to the early afternoon as dedicated competitors exhibited their extensive training in a wonderful showcase of their abilities. Over a hundred athletes participated in the event, and they were accompanied by many happy friends and family! The atmosphere of so many individuals who are incredibly loyal to their craft and the community it builds was wonderful to experience.
NECCO was fortunate to participate by serving the crowd at the tournament. We brought a mix of our favorite sweets to fuel both the competitors and their supporters throughout the day.
Though we brought the candy, many of the guests definitely brought the cheer! The smiles and laughs upon seeing the sweets, especially from the littlest competitors, was wonderful to see and a reflection of this great tournament!
In addition to the classic candies we brought (Slap Stix, NECCO Wafers, Candy Buttons, and Banana Splits) we also treated guests to one of newest and most exciting candy creations: Tropical NECCO Wafers! We heard such great reactions to the bold, delicious fruity flavors that we just can’t wait until everyone gets a chance to try them!
In the end, we were so fortunate to have had the chance to appear at Cervizzi’s Martial Arts Academy’s tournament. The community was extremely welcoming and kind, and we were proud to serve them a mix of our favorite candies. Thanks to all who participated!
