First, good luck with your entry! Second, they must be doing this all
over
the place. There's a Chocolate Fest as you describe in Memphis
tomorrow,
too.

Thanks for the good luck wish. This chocolate fest is not a highbrow
sort of affair. Rather, I think it's organized as a charity vehicle
for
handicapped people. I like that. Although it costs $10 a piece
advance
for tickets, we get to sample lots of chocolate food, so I don't think
that's unreasonable. And it costs me zero to register my contest
entry.
