We are excited for you to participate in our new Chocolate Creations Competition.  After studying chocolate events throughout the
    country we have decided to make this a more exciting and challenging event this year.  There is a new location, new categories,
    and cash value prizes for the first time.  The entries will be judged by a panel of experienced culinary experts paired with local
    celebrities. And you will be able to attend while your entry is being judging. 

 

    The Chocolate Creations Competition will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2009, 2:00-4:00pm, at the Fountain Square
    Mall (Ballroom) on the square in downtown Bloomington, Indiana.
