Hors d'oeuvres , an open bar and live entertainment, follow, leading up to the main event...the chocolate!

The areas finest chocolateirs showcase their creations and seduce your palate. A silent auction tugs at others competitive natures. Bidding on donated treasures: fine art, dining at upscale area restaurants, theatre and sporting event tickets, the latest in electronics, themed baskets and more, usually results in a steal for the highest bidder. Thus, good-natured bidding wars are common.

The evening also possesses a 50/50 raffle, a live raffle for $1000 in travel Certificates, a 42" HD Plasma TV, a Sony Playstation 3 with Blueray, Nintendo Wii System, a $100 Dining Certificate, along with a door prize.
