Special to The PREVIEW
The annual Humane Society Chocolate Auction is just around the corner.
This year’s auction will be held on April 2 in the PLPOA Clubhouse at 230 Port Ave. The evening will begin at 5:30 p.m. with socializing and viewing of the decadent chocolate creations that will be available for bid.
Enjoy a delicious seated dinner followed by dessert and the auction. A cash bar featuring microbrew beer, a selection of red and white wine, and soft drinks will be available during the evening. Auctioneer Jake Montroy will preside over the live auction portion of the event.
Tickets are $15 in advance and can be purchased at the Humane Society thrift store, the Humane Society animal shelter, or by calling 264-5549. Seating is limited and sold out last year, so buy your tickets early.
The absolutely incredible chocolate desserts, some truly works of art, are donated by chefs, caterers, candy stores, restaurants and specialty bakers and will be auctioned to raise funds to help with the daily operating costs of the community’s only animal shelter. The shelter houses and cares for the lost, abandoned and homeless dogs and cats of Archuleta County, which truly benefits the entire community.
The combination of chocolate, creativity and socializing always makes for an enjoyable time, and this year’s auction will again include the entertaining balloon pop — purchase a $25 balloon and pop it to discover an array of super prizes and surprises.
The Chocolate Auction is a wonderful way to have an entertaining evening and support the shelter animals at the same time.
Plan to attend a great night out on the town at the Humane Society Chocolate Auction dinner and fundraiser on April 2 at the PLPOA Clubhouse.
