On Sunday, Feb. 17 from 1 to 4 p.m. the Mary A. Schmecker Turtle Shell Fund is hosting a chocolate lover’s paradise, In Love and Chocolate, with proceeds being split between Spooner House and the Turtle Shell Fund. For $25 per person, patrons will be able to sample chocolate creations from the best of Connecticut’s confectioners, sip champagne (for those 21 or older), listen to live music, enter to win door prizes and much more.

“We were pleased with the outpouring of support and enthusiasm from these two heart warming events last year,” commented Susan Agamy, Executive Director of Spooner House. “We are looking forward to receiving even more support from the public this year. Our lead sponsors of the food drive again this year are Stop & Shop, Dan Jacobs Porsche Specialist and Dworken, Hillman, LaMorte & Sterczala. In Love and Chocolate is a fund raiser with a chocolate coating and will again showcase the skills of chefs and restaurants who have donated their supplies and talents to create the delicious sweet treats.”
