It’s melted! It’s dark and creamy! It’s coming for you!
Every year, in the sleepy college town of Ashland, Oregon there comes a swarm. Of chocolate lovers! March 6-8 2020 is the 16th annual Oregon Chocolate Festival at the Ashland Hills Hotel & Suites. While tickets are $20 for the day and $30 for the two-day pass, the profits and proceeds go to some wonderfully helpful and localized organizations to ensure the quality and continuation of the festival. (Listed below.)
Did you know over there are over 3,000 visitors at the Oregon Chocolate Festival each year?! All 3,000 of those people are supporting different organizations with the money it takes to get into the events. Proceeds go to towards Habitat for Humanity, Oregon Coast Culinary Institute, Access Building Community, Ashland Emergency Food Bank, and the Children’s Miracle Network.
