Never heard of it, but apparently it's coming up so brace yourselves and keep your eyes open for any stray fruit cakes. From Canadian Press:
In California on Dec. 2, the Fruitcake Chuck-n-Hurl takes place in San Diego, where locals will toss their cakes into trash cans to raise money for charity. It's part of Deck the Palms, a warm-weather holiday celebration at Seaport Village, part of the San Diego waterfront, that includes a Santa with a surfboard, sand sculptures and decorations on palm trees instead of evergreens.
Some more information via the Seaport Village Website:
All monetary donations plus proceeds from the Fruitcake Chuck-n-Hurl will benefit the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation and its efforts to break the cycle of child abuse, through prevention, education, advocacy and funding. For more information on the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation, visit www.capfsd.org.
The Fruit Cake Chuck is part of the annual Deck The Palms, and event that celebrates the holidays "San Diego Style."
Deck the Palms will also feature an award-winning sand sculptor team creating an exclusive scene with SoCal Santa and his elves, and a professional chalk artist, who will not only create her own piece but help participants add drawings too. And in this year's craft corner, kids will again get to decorate sand dollar ornaments as well as participate in new San Diego-style crafts including sun paper art and candle decorating. Festive lights and decorations, along with more live upbeat holiday music and entertainment will spice up the ambiance at Seaport. Deck the Palms runs Sunday, Dec. 2 from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Organizers expect Santa to arrive with a splash around noon, and he will be available for photos (not supplied by Seaport Village) until 4 p.m. All shops, restaurants and eateries will be open for holiday shopping and dining from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.
