Chocolate Affair Comes To Arvada's Historic McIlvoy House

ARAVADA, CO – What better way to get revenge on freezing February than to start with chocolate? On Saturday, Feb. 2, Olde Town Arvada presents the Chocolate Affair festival and treasure hunt from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. The Chocolate Affair presents multiple chocolate vendors displaying their wares – and offering a taste –with all proceeds benefiting Ralston House, an organization that helps children deal with family traumas.

One stop will be sponsored by the Arvada Historical Society at the historic McIlvoy House, 7307 Grandview Ave., where you can sample chocolate in a historic mansion built in 1897.

You can also sample tasty chocolate delights at locations around Olde Town. Chocolate samplings cost $1 each.

Don't miss the "Great Arvada Bake-Off Contests" where local bakers compete in the chocolate chip cookie, chocolate cupcake and/or chocolate brownie baking contests.

Want to compete? Bring six cookies/brownies/cupcakes on a paper plate to the Rising Church Gym, 7500 W 57th Ave., between 11 a.m. – noon on the day of the event and be entered to win great prizes. Winners will be announced at 1:30 p.m. (you do not need to be present to win).
