“I
think the word got out about this decadent event and many more people
wanted to come and experience a fun and competitive evening this
year,” said Lisa Mueller,
Main Street
manager for the Urban Renewal Agency office.
“I commend the people brave enough to endure the entry
requirements. It is not an
easy task to prepare a chocolate show piece for the judges plus
one-hundred samplings for the general public to taste.
It is much harder than you think.”
Kandi Pendleton added, “Our judges were very impressed with the
entries. This year, some
category judges had to call in an extra judge to help avoid a tie.”

Street.
