Thirteenth annual Chocolate Festival approaching

GREENVILLE – The 13th annual Moosehead Region Chocolate Festival is set for Sunday, Feb. 19. The 2017 edition will feature more than 40 varieties of chocolate, and a Chinese auction and raffle featuring overnight stays, restaurant gift certificates and more.
“The Chocolate Festival is simply all about the chocolate,” said Angela Arno, executive director of the Moosehead Lake Region Chamber of Commerce. “Because we stay focused on a tasty treat that people absolutely love, it’s grown over time. Last year was so big, we had to move to a bigger location this year. That will allow for more people to enjoy some amazing chocolate goodies and to have a fun day in the Moosehead region.”
The Chocolate Festival will take place from 1-4 p.m. on Feb. 19 at the Greenville School cafeteria at 130 Pritham Avenue. Tickets are available at the door.
“Chocolate and Valentine’s Day are synonymous,” Arno said. “Even though Valentine’s Day is earlier in the week, chocolate can – and will – sooth the soul throughout the month. From moderate chocolate fans to full-throttle chocolate lovers, this Chocolate Festival is a pretty amazing time for anyone.”
The event is presented by the Moosehead Lake Chamber of Commerce. For more information about the Chocolate Festival, or the Moosehead Lake region, please call 695-2702 or visit www.mooseheadlake.org.
