CHOCOLATIERS SELECTED FOR NORMAN’S 2010 CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL

As someone once quipped: “I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter.” Probably the same one who believes there are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles.

These will all be on display at the 28th Annual Chocolate Festival at The Forum Building at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma, on January 30.

The Firehouse Art Center has selected over 30 “Chocolatiers” this year. They’ll be bringing with them over 25,000 samples of chocolate. Many of these vendors and restaurants have participated for years.

There are also several extra activities at the Chocolate Festival this year, including a children’s art area and art demonstrations by Firehouse Art Center faculty.

The Firehouse Art Center’s Chocolate Festival was ranked third among food festivals in the United States by the Food Network, has been featured in Southern Living Magazine, and won this year’s Frontier Country Grand Award for Outstanding Food Festival in Central Oklahoma.

The Norman Firehouse Art Center, Inc. is a non-profit organization that serves Norman and surrounding communities by offering visual art classes for students of all ages, as well as gallery exhibitions of the highest quality. All proceeds of the 28th Annual Firehouse Art Center’s Chocolate Festival will help support visual arts education, exhibits and programs offered by the Firehouse Art Center.
