Chocolate Festival

A chocolate festival in Denver... oh my... in a country with Hershey's "so called chocolate" my dreams finally came true! The whole downtown Expo center filled with the finest Coloradan chocolate? And Willy Wonka and Denise Nickerson completing the spectacle with their appearance!
Who is Denise? Well... the girl from the 70 s 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' movie... I am disappointed that you asked ;-)


Also count Choco, who seems to be a well known character with his own cereal products, was there too. Funny is that he was impersonated by a well known news anchor of the channel two news over here. I really wondered how much they had to pay him to get into that funny suit. The lack of TV cameras proved to me that he didn't want to get remembered for his performance though ;-)


But this day wasn't about the 'stars ' on the stage. No, it was all about the chocolate... and plenty of it. After sampling for half a day you really felt the hard work and I also felt with the judges of the various chocolate competitions :o)

Next year I'll be back... you can count on that Count Choco :-)
