We'd have a resort want to come, and we'd say, "Well, you aren't chocolate." And they'd come back with, "We'll offer a chocolate spa package and do a big chocolate basket giveaway and give a huge chocolate bar to anyone who signs up for our presentation." So we'd say okay, and then they arrive and their only connection to chocolate is a bowl of Hershey's kisses on the table. Grrrr.<BR/><BR/>in time out--No, you don't have to read Farworld to enter the contest and answer the question. The contest page has instructions on where to find the answer on the Farworld website. It's a really easy question to answer, I promise!Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-58124892492724546122008-11-20T18:51:00.000-07:002008-11-20T18:51:00.000-07:00this chocolate show sounds like it could end up be...this chocolate show sounds like it could end up being a cyber friend reunion/intro.

I somehow missed that it is run by your sister, so now I feel like an idiot.<BR/><BR/>This was several years ago that I went, and I think that it was pretty new. The problem we had was that many of the vendors had nothing to do with chocolate or food at all, so it was a disappointment and not what we were expecting.<BR/><BR/>However, it sounds like things have vastly improved and that it would be a lot of chocolatey goodness fun! I might have to hit it up again.Kristina P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16144488639100871226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-13389042859134968522008-11-20T07:18:00.000-07:002008-11-20T07:18:00.000-07:00KristinaP, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm guessing I ...KristinaP, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm guessing I know when you went--we had a major problem with some of the vendors one year, which many people complained about. We were as miffed as the attendees. There are often things that happen that are largely out of the production team's control. Other times, the show is just not someone's cup of tea, and that's okay.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, we've had families hang out for six hours, going to classes, demos, the hands-on workshop, the chocolate fountain wonderland, and so on. Last year people thought the wedding cake competition (in its first year) was pretty cool. Every year what's there changes. Since I'm not working with the show this year, I don't know what's happening with it, but I will be going. My kids love it.<BR/><BR/>So sorry to hear it wasn't fun for you.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-73273597750578184502008-11-20T01:34:00.000-07:002008-11-20T01:34:00.000-07:00So Poland isn't really far off, is it?

In your case I can even give a Provo address so you don't even have to ship it! Just drop by when you're in town. See? SO budget friendly! :)<BR/><BR/>I could totally go for a chocolate show. Not sure how one could be disappointed in it, unless there was no chocolate or something.LisAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299284773832500834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-3295267305166249342008-11-19T22:56:00.000-07:002008-11-19T22:56:00.000-07:00First, I am sort of freaked out that Blogger decid...First, I am sort of freaked out that Blogger decided to capitalize the letters in our sign on names.<BR/><BR/>Second, I have been to that chocolate fair before.
