Sweet Treats for the Holidays Celebration

MONTEREY, Calif. - Nov. 25, 2016 - PRLog -- Get ready for the holidays with Carousel Candies on Old Fisherman's Wharf's holiday promotion, "Sweet Treats for the Holidays Celebration" during the month of December.  Whether it is a sweet treat for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a hostess or family member, Carousel Candies will offer 20% off of all purchases to locals who pay by cash, just with the mention of its Sweet Treats Celebration in December. In addition, a percentage of the proceeds of sales in December will be donated to the Monterey County Fair Heritage Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Carousel Candies is also pleased to announce that in December, it will be debuting a new holiday treat, a rainbow-colored 6-foot candy cane created by co-owner Rick Elves who has more than 55 years as a trained and highly respected confectioner. Carousel Candies is very proud to have been ranked "One of the Top 30 Candy Stores in America" by Relish Magazine.

Carousel Candies' "Sweet Treat Celebration for the Holidays" benefiting the Monterey County Fair Heritage Foundation honors the fact that some of the sweetest tastes of the Monterey County Fair can be enjoyed 365 days a year at Carousel Candies, located adjacent to Old Fisherman's Grotto on Monterey's Old Fisherman's Wharf.  Similar to Fair-time, there are caramel apples, cotton candy, fudge, caramel corn and more at this filled-to-the-brim special destination for holiday sweet treats. The Fair-themed collaboration also gives a "thumbs up" to the hot pink carousel that is the symbol and company name for Carousel Candies. Due to this special relationship and recognition of the importance of the Monterey County Fair Heritage Foundation that impacts thousands of fairgoers annually, Carousel Candies will be making a donation to the Monterey County Fair Heritage Foundation in early January, 2017 at the conclusion of the "Sweet Treat Celebration".

Fabulous December Specials!
