Nearly 500 dessert lovers help Tanger set record

A delicious piece of history was made at Tanger Outlets in Riverhead last Thursday, where 487 people raised a cookie, brownie or cupcake in unison and took synchronized bites — all in hopes of entering the Guinness Book of World Records for the grandest dessert party ever.

Simultaneous parties were held at Tanger’s 34 outlet centers — which were collectively trying to break the record — with 6,997 people taking part in all. The event, held in celebration of the outlet chain’s 30th anniversary, crushed the paltry record of 250 people that had been on the books for the largest dessert party ever. Riverhead’s 487 participants alone were enough alone to break the record, though the Tanger in Foley, Ala., drew the largest crowd, with 553 in attendance.

In Riverhead, volunteers feverishly tried to count all 487 participants, slapping stickers on them before the countdown to consumption. On the count of three, everyone in the roped off area of the Tanger 2 parking lot took a bite. Participants had to stay inside the area for 15 minutes for the record to count.

People came from all over Long Island to snag a free treat, including Doris Wilk of East Patchogue. “I had everything that wasn’t nailed down,” she said, adding that she recently lost 100 pounds by following the Weight Watchers diet plan. “I think I put everything back on.”

Two witnesses, Suffolk County Legislator Ed Romaine (R-Center Moriches) and Riverhead school board president Ann Cotten-Degrasse signed the proper paperwork and made the count official.

Students from Suffolk County Community College’s Culinary Arts Department spent two days baking 2,000 desserts, which were boxed up and picked up by Tanger staff. The students began baking the dough a week in advance, according to SCCC associate dean Dave Bergen.

Many participants helped themselves to more than one dessert, as there was not a single cookie, brownie or cupcake left moments after the results were tallied.

“They did a fantastic job,” Janine Nebons, general manager of the Riverhead Tanger, said of the culinary students.

Ms. Nebons said her office began planning the event a month in advance, and that one of the most tedious tasks was making sure the menu was just right.

“All of the food had to be approved by Guinness,” she said. “They had very strict guidelines.”

Ms. Nebons speculated that if the event had been held at 2 p.m., as it was at Tanger Outlets in the Central Time Zone, Riverhead could have had the highest attendance since it would not have interfered with school dismissal.

Quick Lenox History

Walter Scott Lenox founded Lenox in 1889 in Trenton, New Jersey and named it as the Lenox’s Ceramic Art Company. It started as an art studio and not as a manufacturing firm. Lenox did not have full lines of ceramic products but one-of-a-kind artwares. The first products of the brand were displayed in The Smithsonian Institute in 1897. This led to the eventual popularity of Lenox through the 20 century which continued to this very day.

What is a Lenox Outlet?

Lenox Outlet Stores offer authentic merchandises that are sold in very affordable prices. These outlet stores offer Lenox products like china, dinnerware and collectible in prices that can hardly be found in regular Lenox stores, department stores and specialty shops. Imagine getting 20- 40% discount in regular suggested prices of items in regular days. And if you get as much savings in regular- day shopping in an outlet store, what can you expect during store clearance and special day sales? There is no doubt that you will get enormous savings that you never imagined possible.

Why Prices are Discounted?

Prices in a Lenox Factory Outlet are really low because of the conditions of the products sold in them. It is hard to find new lines of products that are in perfect condition. Most of your choices will be composed of returned items, second- hand products, surplus old models and slightly blemished items. Despite their conditions, Lenox Outlet sees to it that these minor issues do not, in anyway, mess up with the overall quality and functionality of every time. Thos with small damages can even be easily fixed and are most of the time hardly noticeable.
