For the Love of Chocolate Festival

If life is a box of chocolates, then it’s time to buy another box at the annual “For the Love of Chocolate” Festival. The American Red Cross of Medina County and The J.M. Smucker Company invite you and all your friends to the annual Chocolate Festival. The event will feature decadent chocolate items from over 30 chocolatiers. 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This family-oriented event features a Children’s Candyland area with games and amusements sponsored by The Hoffman Group including a craft table sponsored by Pat Catan’s; a raffle of chocolate and gift items donated by the chocolatiers, a silent auction filled with family fun items; a bake sale and a Dominic’s Pizza Refreshment Stand. All proceeds help Medina County families prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies.

If you love chocolate, you’ll love this year’s event, featuring changes to make the afternoon even better for attendees. This year, ALL attendees age 5 and older must have a ticket to enter the event. There will be two types of tickets: a $10 ticket for 10 chocolate samples and a $5 ticket for 5 samples. The festival will be spread out over the entire building to ease congestion, and the Decadent Dessert and Cookie contests will be held at Buehler’s River Styx.
