The Arlee Community Development Corporation announces it's 4th Annual Chocolate Lover's Festival, to be held on Tuesday, February 12th at the Hangin' Art Gallery in Arlee, just in time for Valentine's Day! This annual event benefits the Jocko Valley Library and the programs of the Arlee Community Development Corporation.

Those who wish to pre-register their favorite dessert, candy, pie, cake, cookies, or even main dishes, should contact the Arlee CDC office at 726-5550. While pre-registration is encouraged, entries at the door are also welcome.

Each entry must include two identical items - one for tasting, one to be auctioned. There will be 8 categories this year: Most Chocolatey, Most Unique, Creamiest, Nuttiest, Fruitiest, Most Beautiful, Best Carob, and Best Diabetic. Creativity is encouraged!

Tasting will begin at 6:30 p.m., and the auction starts at 7:30. Admission prices are $2 per person, $5 per family. The public will have a chance to vote on their favorites in all 8 categories, and the winners in each will receive a prize. The auction offers some lively bidding, and is your chance to support a great cause as you pick up something wonderful for your special Valentine - or for yourself!
