A Commitment to Children and Community Reign Supreme at the
Paradise Chocolate Fest!
One of the highlights
of the Paradise Chocolate Fest is the annual Celebration and Coronation of the
Chocolate Fest Queen.
Each year, community
leaders join the fun to experience a taste of sweet royalty by participating in
the Chocolate Fest as a Chocolate Queen Contestant. No bathing suit competition, no
talent show! All they need is
sponsorship by a community business or civic organization - and a love for kids,
an ability to appeal to their friends, co-workers and family members for a
worthwhile donation, and a desire to make an impact on our community.
The creative energies
of these wonderful women is remarkable!
Sporting custom-created chocolate themed hats, candidates “kick- off”
their annual quest for the crown on the first of February, and the race is
officially on! The following
several weeks are filled with fun, camaraderie, team work, new friends, and lots
and lots of chocolate.
Inspired and mentored
by the Chocolate Fest’s official “Queen Mum”, (local business leader, Sherry
Swim), candidates host a variety of fund raisers – from madcap or silly to
elegant and grand, contenders compete to raise “votes”. Each dollar raised by candidates equals
one vote. The candidate the most votes is honored as the annual
Chocolate Fest Queen.
The coronation of the
2010 Paradise Chocolate Fest Queen and her Court is scheduled for Thursday, May
6th, at the Paradise Senior Center.
Guests seated at uniquely decorated tables, will be treated to a
fun-filled evening celebrating our candidates, our community, children and
chocolate. Highlights of the
evening include a deliciously decadent 3-course chocolate dinner (chocolate with
every course!), musical entertainment, and a no-host bar featuring chocolate
paradise martinis, beer and wine, complimentary Smucker’s Knudsen Family Juices.
and many more sweet treats. Tickets
are $25, and will be available March 1, at Coco Amatrice, Darlene’s Fine
Chocolates and Ice Cream, Joy Lyn’s Candies, from Chocolate Fest Queen
Candidates or from the Paradise Chocolate Fest.
