Five Chocolate Covered Cherries
The Fayette Front Page gives five chocolate covered cherries (much better than two thumbs up don't you think?) to the folks who came up with the idea for the Promise Place Chocolate Explosion! Yummy. Fayette County is "the place to be" the weekend of the 16th - 18th. Here's a list to whet your appetite (start your diets NOW):

(Note: we shared the Chocolate Explosion with you yesterday, but it's part of the weekend events, so you get double exposure to the event... which, for chocolate lovers shouldn't be a problem!)
