This coming weekend, March 8-9, on of my Meetup groups, the Central Texas Food-Centrics (we're all about all things edible in Central Texas!) is attending the 3rd Annual Austin Chocolate Festival, an annual event held each spring to not only celebrate chocolate, bur raise funds for the fight against breast cancer through Susan G. Komen For the Cure.
Not only is there chocolate galore to taste, and buy, but vendors will compete in various categories, with the festival attendees serving as judges (which means, of course, getting to taste chocolate), demonstrations of ways to prepare chocolate goodies, and there will be an advance screening of the movie "Death, Taxes... and Chocolate!". Tickets are sold for two hour blocks, with no more than 150 people in attendance at a time - contrast this to the usual crowds at festivals, and this sounds very appealing.
It's not often that you get to eat chocolate in such a good cause. I hope to see you there!
