The 10th annual Chocolate Affair is this weekend Feb. 5th from 11:00am to 3:00pm in Olde Town Arvada. The event is put together by the Arvada Festivals Commission and Downtown Arvada Partnership (HOTA).This is a great event and it is a lot of fun for the whole family before Valentine's Day. Take your significant other and try some chocolate. Samples for the "Taste of Chocolate" cost $5.00 and for that you get 6 samples. There will be many other activities for children and families from face-painting, horse carriage rides, and heart shaped expressions of love on light posts throughout Olde Town.
The Chocolate Treasure Hunt is actually kind of fun for families. There are clue hidden throughout the shoppes of Olde Town and you have to find Chocolate clues. Teams can compete or individuals to find all of the clues and win some great prizes.
There is a Chocolate Cookie contest which is also quite interesting. There are two categories for the cookies; creatively decorated or chocolate chip cookies.
All proceeds from the event go to the Ralston House which is dedicated to helping children and teens heal from the trauma of sexual, physical and/or emotional abuse. It is the only child advocacy center in Jefferson County, Colorado and is a lifeline for some of Colorado's most vulnerable citizens . . . innocent children and adolescents who have been abused.
