| - I wasn't too impressed with the chocolate festival. Although the location itself was very picturesque with the tree lights and nice walkways, it was so crowded on Saturday that when you walked around, it seemed like you could only inch your way from booth to booth. When we actually got to the booths, we were disappointed to find that most of the chocolate goods for sale used chocolate as an "accessory" to the dessert rather than the main focus. For instance, while there were some booths that sold fudge, most of the booths were mainly selling some sort of fruit or main dessert dipped in chocolate. We came here in anticipation of trying out some chocolate dipped key lime pie, only to discover that the one booth that sold it, had sold out for the night.
In addition, when we were here it seemed like just a big conglomeration of booths, with only some of them selling chocolate. It seemed like most of the booths were either some sort of non-food good (like jewelry, hair pins, etc) or fair-type food such as lemonade and funnel cake.
I would have liked to see a chocolate contest, where the different booths have a different chocolate item for people to buy, with the winner announced at the end. I think this would have attracted more booths to offer more chocolate options.
