A sweet day in Cape Henlopen State Park

September 17, 2025

The Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park held its 17th annual Chocolate Tasting in the Park, a fundraiser featuring chocolates and baked goods made by Friends members.

For $10, visitors received six tasting tickets. Proceeds benefited the Friends’ Thatcher Education Fund, which helps pay for under-resourced students to come and have access to the park and take part in environmental education. Nearly 40 volunteers made baked goods for the tasting.
