The 20th Annual Medina County Chocolate Festival took place at the Medina County Fairground Community Center on January 20 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. It was a well-organized event.

The parking lot was almost full and it was always busy from the beginning to the end. Admission was $10 and with your ticket you could choose eight different free samples of chocolates or sweets. The event had several organizations and businesses promoting themselves. Dairy Queen was selling sundaes for just $1 and there was even an Oreo-stacking contest!
Camryn Wrobleski, who attended the Festival, said, “It was a great event. I enjoyed all the sweets.”
