Great cooks from Worthington to Cincinnati are sifting, stirring, and melting heavenly ingredients to bring you bliss at Chocolate Fest, Saturday, May 14 from 1:30-4 pm at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, 7121 Muirfield Drive, in Dublin. Our Choco-Team's headed by the awesome mother-daughter duo Joy Sargent, contest chair (aka Chocolate Czarina) with Chocolate Fest chair Jan Smith.

Every dollar you put in - whether by tasting, bidding, or making an online donation - enables a church pantry to provide four meals of free groceries to a family in need.

$10 for adults, $5 for children, each ticket entitles you to taste 18 different confections, from the candy recipe created by Nicole Smith just for Chocolate Fest, to Mary Lake's Perfect Chocolate Cake, a favorite at Trinity, Capitol Square's weekly lunch, prayer, and share for people in need.
