Roll Out the Barrel in the Shorewood Village Hall

The Board cleared the way for guests at the Hugs & Wishes Chocolate Ball to drink alcohol, if that's what they're into.

The ordinance approved by the board last week allows the sale of alcohol for the Feb. 4 fundraiser at village hall.

The Hugs & Wishes Chocolate Ball, which was organized by the philanthropic group H.U.G.S., will raise money so they can grant wishes to those in need from the Shorewood area.

Money raised by the ball will also support Shorewood's Veteran's Memorial.

Tickets for the ball are are $40 in advance and $50 at the door.

The event will feature entertainment by Michael J. Perkins, a free chocolate martini for each attendee, raffles, silent auction, appetizers, cash bar and taste some of the finest chocolate creations from area businesses.
