Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
I’m officially a few pounds heavier today — and it’s not because of my Mother’s Day stomach crush at Paxia (which was excellent, by the way). No, today’s increase in poundage has everything to do with chocolate, namely the Colorado Chocolate Festival, which took place over the weekend at the Denver Merchandise Mart. More than seventy chocolate purveyors from across the country sent spectators and samplers into sugar euphoria, including me and Westword arts editor Susan Froyd, who were tasked with judging the best of the best: chocolate truffles, chocolate spheres, chocolate toffee and more. Herewith, photos of the sweetest highlights.
