Chocolate Festival IS Newsworthy!

My friend Jenn and I drove two hours to the Greenville Chocolate Festival on Sunday. Clearly we'll do anything to get our chocolate fix. It was a nice drive and, despite being rear-ended by a maniac driver on the way home, was a pleasant one.

The festival was held in the basement of the Greenville Masonic Temple. It wasn't the best space due to the amount of people clamoring to get in the door and down the stairs. For $10 we got a to-go container, spoon, fork, and 12 tickets for treats. Jenn and I loaded up our containers and sat down to feast. After 4 chocolatey deserts we came to the conclusion that we could have split the 12 tickets and saved ourselves $10. Regardless, we had lots of goodies to take home to our families.

I looked to see if any local papers (namely the Bangor Daily News) had covered the event and could find no press on it, which is really too bad. It was packed! And it's not like Sunday is a busy news day -- the Monday paper is always the skinniest. Perhaps the BDN just doesn't have enough reporters to cover these sorts of community events. Sad.

Here are some photos I took.
