There will be at least one award for each category.

There will also be chocolate-themed activities, artist demos, special promotions and sales.Plus, while savoring chocolate treats, visitors will enjoy a variety of First Friday activities going on throughout the Village, including live music, artist demonstrations and special promotions just in time for Valentine’s Day.
