Harrisburg, PA (PRWEB) January 20, 2008 -- Take a break from the winter blues with Keystone Human Services' annual chocolate celebrations, Chocolatefest and the Chocolate Ball, on Saturday, February 2 and Sunday, February 3 in Hershey, PA. The Hershey Lodge and Convention Center will once again be aglow with all things sweet for Sunday's Chocolatefest, a family-friendly celebration highlighting the offerings of regional restaurants, retailers, bakeries, spas and more. Ushering in Chocolatefest is the glamorous Chocolate Ball, a delectable black tie gala in the Hershey Lodge's Chocolate Ballroom.

Chocolatefest 2008 features musical entertainment from local high school jazz ensembles, and emcee duties will be vested in WGAL 8's Doug Allen. Always a crowd-pleaser, the Chocolatefest cake decorating competition highlights the fondant finesse of local individual bakers, restaurants and bakeries.

Guests can join the fun of a live auction hosted by John Carl or take a turn on the lively dance floor as jazz fusion aficionados Blitz Dynette generate some heat with their samba-infused musical stylings, In an exciting new twist on the annual Chocolate Ball raffle, participants will purchase keys to unlock the Chocolate Ball Treasure Chest, and one lucky guest will win a glittering "treasure!"
