NEWCASTLE — The 11th annual Chocolate Fest and Silent Auction to benefit Healthy Kids is scheduled to run from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lincoln Home.
The event for adults will feature fine chocolate, savory hors d’oeuvres, champagne, live music and a silent auction.
Local restaurants, bakeries and chocolatiers will create a range of decadent chocolate desserts to suit all tastes; hors d’oeuvres will be catered by The Damariscotta River Grill.
“The event began as a way to raise money for child abuse prevention and continues to be Healthy Kids’ most successful fundraiser,” a Healthy Kids release states. “The proceeds from Chocolate Fest are essential for Healthy Kids to continue providing local families with home visits, support groups, workshops and parenting classes, play groups, supervised visitation, and family resources.”
Chocolate Fest tickets cost $ 35 when purchased in advance at the Healthy Kids office in Damariscotta or the Maine Coast Book Shop & Cafe. Tickets can be purchased online for $ 37.50 at www.healthykidsmaine.com. Tickets purchased at the door will cost $45.
