Food for Thought: Chocolate Extravaganza February 14th

February 3, 2023

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 Tuesday, February 14th from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. 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.

Proceeds will benefit the Smith County Rescue Squad and FCE projects.

We hope to see you at Smith County Chamber of Commerce on February 14th!
