Burlington County Consumer Bowl to be held Tuesday

A dozen county high schools are scheduled to compete in the 14th Annual Burlington County Consumer Bowl on Tuesday, Feb. 19 beginning at 9:30 a.m. at Burlington County College, located at 601 Pemberton-Browns Mills Road in Pemberton. Snow date for the event is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 22 at the same place and at the same time.

Two-time defending champion Moorestown Friends will return and attempt to become only the second team in the 14-year history of the county competition win three consecutive championships. Pemberton won in six of the first seven years, and five in a row from 2002–2006.

Teams scheduled to compete are: Burlington County Alternative School, Burlington City, Burlington Township, Cherokee, Cinnaminson, Lenape, Moorestown Friends, Palmyra, Pemberton, Rancocas Valley, Seneca and Shawnee. Rancocas Valley will be participating for the first time.

Three winners from first and second rounds will compete at noon for the county championship.

The consumer bowl is a game show-like competition that tests high school students’ knowledge of consumer protection, and weights and measures issues.

The competition will be held in the McDaniel Integrated Learning Center and is sponsored by the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs under the Office of the Attorney General.
