On behalf of the Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation, thank you to all who supported our second annual Chocolate Affair.

We are grateful for the donations and partnerships of Ameristar Casino, Cedar Grove Restaurant, Café Anchuca, Duff’s Tavern, Just Desserts, The Liquor Store, Main Street Market, Roca Restaurant and Uptown Florists. This was a first class event, and we so appreciate the assistance in getting the word out by: the VCVB, Chamber of Commerce, Vicksburg Post, River 101, Khits 104.5, 1490am, David Day and V105.5.

Also, thank you to the gracious volunteers and for the assistance of: Sarah Ruth and Sam Andrews, Alice Hebler, Heather Hoggatt, Dana Kenney, Ashley Kelly, Walter Osborne, Palmertree Catering, Erin Powell, Anne Sellers, Alesia Shaw, Amber Smith, Carolyn Spencer, Chris Tankesly and Colleen Van Den Nieuwboer — who put their hearts into this very special night.

The exceptional musical entertainment of Jim Robinson and Maria Adona was such a highlight. This event was absolutely wonderful, and we look forward to hosting many more!
