McLean — Like chocolate? The McLean Rotary club, along with the Governing Board of the

Community Center, is calling all chocolate lovers to the McLean Community Center on Sunday, Jan. 29 from noon to 5 p.m. for the inaugural McLean Chocolate Festival. Vendors will be selling all things chocolate: candy, cookies, fudge, chocolate-dipped fruits and other morsels, cupcakes, cheesecake, fudge sauce, and chocolate drinks. Local retailers Fluffy Thoughts and Greenberry’s will be on hand, as well as national marketers Godiva, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and Schakolad Chocolate Factory.

In addition, a number of local enterprises such as Dave’s Candy Kitchen and SpagnVola Chocolatiers will be there. Sprinkles Cupcakes is coming from Georgetown. Even the Dogma Gourmet Dog Bakery is coming from Arlington to sell carob treats for your dog. There will be a refreshment room where you can eat your treats on site. In another room, students from the Interact Clubs at McLean and Langley High Schools will be conducting chocolate-related games for children while parents watch. The event is intended to bring the community together for a fun event for the whole family. It will also raise money for local and international charitable projects since 25 percent of all proceeds will go to Rotary to be used for charitable purposes.
