The Penticton Royalty who represent the city as ambassadors to events across B.C. are raising funds for this year’s Miss Penticton program and for charity.
Annika Neill, the 2023 queen val vedette and Elena Collins, the 2023 princess, came up with the idea for the cookie dough fundraiser as a way to help support the program and local organizations.
The Miss Penticton program currently has five participants, with the next queen being crowned during the Penticton Peach Festival.
In addition to learning a variety of useful life skills, the selected royalty travel to various other communities in B.C. and across the border representing Penticton and the Peach Festival as ambassadors.
The current royalty will be making the cookie dough themselves and are offering up three different flavours:
* Chocolate Chip
* Birthday Cake
* Penticton Vees blue cookie dough with white chocolate chips.
The Vees are sponsoring their namesake flavour. Half of the proceeds will be donated to local non-profit organizations, with the other half supporting the Miss Penticton program.
The royalty has a goal of selling 1,000 tubs of cookie dough, and orders are open until April 19.
Orders can be placed online.
Once the cookie dough is made, it will be ready for pickup on April 27.
