Bring your favorite chocolate confection to be auctioned off for the 8th Annual Chocolate Lover's Festival and bring your checkbook to bid on those wonderful desserts. Remember "Every Bid Helps a Kid".

For those who might not be familiar with the event, volunteers make their favorite chocolate treat (two of the same. One for tasting and one to be auctioned off). The proceeds benefit the Arlee Community Development's youth programs and the Jocko Valley Library.

Beginning at 6:30 the public is invited to taste and vote on their favorite entries in several categories for just $2 per person and $5 per family with children. At 7:30 the auction begins with J.R. Strand of Strand Auction Sales in Missoula, once again donating his services and ensuring lots of fun and lively bidding on the best the Jocko Valley has to offer in fine chocolate treats!

We need volunteers for the event and we need donations of tasty Chocolate treats. If you would like to volunteer and/or donate a treat please contact Kelley at 726-5550.

If you plan on making an item to be auctioned, please make two of the same and plan on having them at the Brown Building between 1pm and 6pm.

We hope that you will attend the event and bid on a treat. Remember: "Every bid helps a kid."
