Clarksville Parks & Recreation’s 8th Annual A Chocolate Affair was another sold-out success, bringing 600 chocolate lovers to the Wilma Rudolph Event Center. “This is our 8th Annual A Chocolate Affair,” Parks & Rec’s Trey Stroud said. “This sells out each year, and this year may have been a record. We sold out the entire event in about 20 days. That’s 300 people for each session, 50 VIP’s who come in a half-hour early, and then 250 general admission guests.” This year’s event had 16 vendors, including several returning favorites.

“But, the great thing for our attendees is, seven of these are first time vendors, brand new to A Chocolate Affair,” Stroud said. “We have B’s Cheese Cakes, O’Charley’s, La Casa Taqueria and Nothing Bundt Cakes. Two Birds Coffee Is owned by a really neat couple, Joe and Amanda Witmer. They served a Mocha Cold Brew today that was fantastic. Season’s Market, Silke’s Old World Breads Bakery, Culver’s, Chealsey’s Cookie Jar, Cakes by Jackie, and a selection of gluten-free treats from Savor the Sweets. That’s just to name a few. “Thanks to all this year’s vendors, patrons, volunteers and sponsors. Special thanks to Gateway Credit Union, today’s Presenting Partner. They were tremendous to work with.”
