Making time for chocolate

Sunday’s going to be a busy day! We have Youthfest over at the RCC Fieldhouse (real family event, with information about county’s nonprofits and youth-centered business, and activities for kids, too.) It’s from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Then, there’s the Chocolate World Expo 2009 at the Palisades Center (on the fourth floor of the West Nyack mall, toward the ice skating rink) from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. This 
is a fund-raiser for Camp Venture and its plans to build an indoor equestrian center in Stony Point, so it can offer its therapeutic riding programs year-round. Here’s the news article and here’s their Chocolate World Expo Web site. (Find out more about Venture here.)
Yes! You can support a wonderful effort by munching free samples of chocolate products, and purchasing all kinds of yummies. Last year, the vendors were varied and had interesting products, and this year, there’s an even longer list of participants.
Both are events where there’s plenty reason to linger, except you’ll want to get to the next one.
Photos: These are from last year’s Chocolate World Expo, from our archives. At left, Lauryn Smallwood, then 10, from Garnerville, bites into a cookie from the Black & White Cookie Company. At right, a group of buddies from Blauvelt try out the chocolate fondue fountain from Aurora Gourmet.
