The 5^th annual Chocolate on the Beach Festival is less than two days away, and preparations are already in full swing!  This year we are adding several new events, including cooking classes sponsored by the Ocean Crest Resort and a new kids\\\\\\\' event at the “Palace of Treats” (Pacific Beach Resort Conference Center).  Along with the return of our favorite vendors, we’ve added a third venue, the “Chocolate Station” at the North Beach Community Center to hold our new vendors.  Admission is still just $5.00 for adults for both Saturday and Sunday and all three venues!  Attendees will receive a bracelet to wear for the weekend.

This year’s annual Chocolate Recipe Contest guest judges are The Culinary Madman, Jess Owen from the Ocean Crest Resort, Art Sanders from KOMO News Radio, Rhys Davis from Sunny 102.1FM and Doug Mcdowell of KANY 93.7 from Aberdeen.  Once the festival is over, recipes collected from the first five years will be published in a collector’s cookbook.  This will include pictures of the Festivals and winners of years past as well as artwork submitted by kids with their recipes.  Be a part of history, enter the recipe contest this year and get free admission!
