For the Love of Art and Chocolate

Ro and I just came back from our annual date. This was one of the events I used to lure her to State College during our courtship.It worked very well. It has grown over the past 4 years, graduating from a smaller venue to a larger. I learned tonight that it has been happening for the last 11. It's a great benefit and I am pleased to be able to contribute. Really what keeps us coming back is the amazing chocolate buffet. They also have a cash bar and a chocolate fountain. It's an insane amount of chocolate. You have to remembver to eat a little something before you go just so you don't become overwhelmed.This year both Ro and I donated pieces for the art auction, when we left both pieces had met the minimum bids and were on the rise. You can see Rowan's piece in the auction shot. She wasn't pleased with the way it was displayed, but she decided next year her donation will come with display instructions and perhaps even display hardware.

Here are a few pictures from the event. The link for their website is here.
