Become the Dynamite King or Queen

September 11, 2010

Help us decide who makes the best Dynamite in the world.

Join us for fun, prizes, music, fresh farm produce at the Northern Rhode Island Council on the Arts' French Farmer's Market, on the banks of the Blackstone River and for more fun than one city can handle at the Great 2010 Dynamite Cook-Off.

Discussion is raging throughout the community over who makes the best Dynamite. It will finally be known who has the best recipe, where the tradition started, who originated the recipe and who thought of calling it Dynamite.

Bring your Dynamite and Calise's Bakery will provide the Dynamite rolls. Let the judges and public decide who has the best recipe! It's simple to participate. Sign-up today!

Join us and have fun offering Dynamite to the uninitiated and the initiated.
