A chocolate lover's dream - a trip to Hershey

The Carbon County Economic Development Corporation (CCEDC) is hosting a “Chocolate Fest” fundraiser, Saturday at the Carbon County Higher Education Building, 1650 Harshman Street in Rawlins. Room is still available for Chocolatier’s to enter their creations. Entry forms are available by contacting the CCEDC office or on their website at ccwyed.net. The deadline has been extended to Thursday.

Chocolate Tasting is open to the public from 6-8 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person and will be available at the door or in advance at the Red Wagon in Encampment. Everyone who purchases a ticket will be entered to win an overnight stay at the Wind River Casino and Hotel and a $50 gift certificate.

A silent auction will be held throughout the evening as well at a 50/50 raffle. The winners of the chocolate entries will be announced at 7 p.m. A live auction will be held at 7:30 p.m. and will include a trip for four to Hershey, Pa. The trip package up for auction covers airfare, three nights at the Hampton Inn and admission to either the Hershey Factory tour or amusement park. Sinclair Wyoming Refining Company donated the Hershey, Pa., trip package.

Entrants are asked to provide at least 150 bite-sized samples, bring them to the new CCHEC building between 4-5 p.m., and serve at the public event from 6-8 p.m.

Cash prizes will be awarded in three categories: Student, Adults (over 18), and Professionals. All entrants will be included in the drawing for the Wind River Casino Hotel accommodation and restaurant gift certificate.

Proceeds from the Chocolate Fest fundraiser will be used to upgrade the CCEDC website, provide office equipment and to match the downtown facade grant. Contact the CCEDC office for entry forms, tickets or further information at 307-324-3836, 307-710-5234 (Cell) or [email protected].
