Shake Week Deadline Arrives Wednesday

Entries for Shake Week, a joint fundraising project sponsored by Tom & Eddie’s benefiting the Deerfield Education Foundation and Deerfield Parks Foundation, are due today.

Students from Deerfield Public Schools District 109 must submit a milk shake recipe by 5 p.m. today on the Foundation’s website while anyone with a bent for creating art has to submit their project to the Deerfield Park District website today.

Tom & Eddie’s will donate ten percent of its net proceeds from all sales at its Deerfield restaurant from 4 to 8 p.m. between May 28 and June 3 as well as part of the sales from all milk shakes during June to the foundations.

All shake recipes must contain hand dipped vanilla ice cream, according to information on the Foundation website. “No need to give an exact recipe, just the flavor name and list of ingredients,” the Education Foundation writes on its website. “Tom & Eddie’s will choose one top flavor from each school.”

The winning shake for each school will be featured on its own night between May 28 and June 2 with each sale counting as a vote. The winner will be announced June 3 when the winning Parks Foundation art project will be revealed.

People who want to enter Art in the Park must make it an 8x10 creation and submit it in Jpeg form or drop it off at the Jewett Park Community Center. All entries will be displayed at Tom & Eddie’s during Shake Week.
