From the Gig Harbor Guide at http://www.gigharborguide.com/ghg-blog/art-chocolate/
The second annual ART OF CHOCOLATE event will take place on Saturday February 5th from 10am – 6pm in historic downtown Gig Harbor. Local merchants are each coming up with special chocolate themed events and activities in their individual stores, all for this event sponsored by the Gig Harbor Historic Waterfront Association.
Most stores will feature some kind of chocolate as well as other items including wine and entertainment. For instance, Mostly Books will have chocolate for all its guests and will also have a wonderful selection of books about chocolate, chocolate cookbooks as well as romance and valentine themed books.
...Now for my bit, for the older kids this can be a great little outing and way to explore either your own community or a new one. Grab a local map, or mapquest in your iPad and make a game of it. Have the kids create a passport memory book of the different ways they tried chocolate. Then, scour your favorite websites or blogs and try making your own truffles or other homemade sweets and compare. Make it like a science experiment. With a rating scale, have them create the categories. Just look at all the fun you can have off 1 day in gig Harbor!
