You can buy up to 6 tickets per transaction and they can all be under your name but given to other attendees.  Is my registration/ticket transferable? Yes.

You will be outside most of the time, so correct clothing for the weather is important.  Where do I start?  Attendees will start by checking in at the Valparaiso Events Tent, located on the Court House lawn (16 E Lincolnway) to receive their Chocolate Walk map, bag, and punch-card lanyard.
