Chocolate is a staple for Valentine’s Day in my book. What is better than chocolate? Homemade chocolate!
This Valentine’s Day why not treat your loved one or yourself to a box of homemade chocolate goodies? On Friday, February 14th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (or until sold out) the Smith County Family and Community Education Clubs (FCE) will again be hosting their Annual Chocolate Extravaganza!
This year FCE members will pre-package boxes by the dozen. A box of assorted brownies, cookies, candies, etc. is only $5.00. The candies and cakes prepared may contain or come into contact with common allergens such as tree nuts and peanuts.
Proceeds will benefit the Smith County Heritage Museum and FCE projects. Come out to the Smith County Chamber of Commerce on February 14th and support a worthwhile cause!
