Carolina Chocolate Festival
2010 Carolina Chocolate Fesitval Feb 5th-7th
Morehead City – The Crystal Coast plays host to the 7th Annual Carolina Chocolate Festival. Today there was a charity golf event at Brandywine Bay Golf Course. Tonight there was an Evening Wrapped in Chocolate at Shepard’s Point in Morehead City. This tasty event benefited the Girls and Boys Club of Coastal Carolina.
The tickets for the Shepard’s Point event were a bit steep for me, but tomorrow is when the good stuff happens. The festival opens at 9am and I’ll try to get there for some photos and pick up some chocolate for a special someone 
Tickets are $8 for adults, Kids 5-12 are just $2, and kids under 5 are free admission.
The festival will run until 6pm so make sure to drop in for an hour and peruse the exquisite chocolate treats. This event should be a hit with most of the kids too. Really though, who doesn’t like chocolate?
Also check out the Chocolate Spa at the Sheraton Hotel in Atlantic Beach. For $60 a person you can immerse yourself in chocolate relaxation. There will be facials, hand massages, as well as mini-massages. All of this accompanied with champagne and gourmet chocolates.
From 1-4pm on the 2nd floor of the Crystal Coast Civic Center there will be a Champagne and Truffle VIP Party. This party will showcase local artists, and have cooking demonstrations.
On Sunday the Chocolate Festival is open from 10am to 3pm. Admission is the same as Saturday. Except it is FREE for Active Duty military personnel with ID. This is good, because I’ll let you in on a little secret. Sunday the prices on chocolate goods come down, as the vendors do not want to have to pack all of it up and take it home.
Carteret County PAWS will also be hosting a brunch from 11am to 3pm. The brunch benefits our local pet welfare and adoption society.
So as you can see there’s going to be plenty to do this weekend. Come on down to Morehead City and check it out.
