For the Love of Chocolate


Thanks Sharisa for this yummy looking activity:

The Glendale Chocolate Affaire
Today and Tomorrow
Saturday, February 7th from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM and
Sunday, February 8th from noon to 5:00 PM

Located in historic Downtown Glendale at Murphy Park
58th and Glendale avenues
Okay, the name pretty much sums it up. However, it you need more enticement:

This event is FREE to get in with FREE parking. I also saw it on the news tonight and wow, my tastebuds are drooling - chocolate with pretty much anything you can think of. And if you want more, there will also be live musical performances and Southwest romance novelists out to greet their fans. You can also participate in free writing workshops. For the young ones there are crafts, face-painting and a rock-climbing wall. Horse-drawn carriage rides through the historic Catlin Court district will be available. And if you want a tour through a real chocolate factory, the "Cerreta Candy Company will offer tours all weekend. It is about 8 blocks from the the site of the Glendale Chocolate Affaire. Sometimes there is a shuttle service, but if not, and it is a nice day, it is worth the walk!"
