Chocolate Festival Fund Raiser - 2011

                   
          

               

            The 2nd Annual Chocolate Festival in support of the KFPA was held on November 6, 2011 at the Old Courthouse and was a HUGE success. This was in no small part, thanks to our wonderful volunteers and, of course, all the great baking donators in Kamloops.
            The entire KFPA committee wishes to thank our numerous 'Chocolate Helpers' - Wesley Eccleston, Amanda Buder, Dennis Ralph, Dennis Reedman, Chris Ralph, Dorothy Learned, Pierrette Beaton and Fiona Chan. And we certainly cannot forget our esteemed panel of judges - Ron Rosentreter from TRU Culinary Department, Lana Langevin (a private Chocolateer of distinction) and our 'Celebrity Judge" - who admits he just likes to eat chocolate! - Alan Corbishley. The whole event would not have been such a great success without our  wonderful auctioneer - Kris Austin from Tourism Kamloops! All of these people worked hard to put together a perfectly delicious day - Thanks to all (and if I have missed anybody, please forgive me, you know you are appreciated as well).

Congratulations to our lucky - and very talented - winners:
Cakes: 1st place - Gemma Laska, 2nd place Cheryl Sayers and 3rd place Rita Winkler
Candies& Fudge: 1st place to Helmken Chocolates
Cheesecakes: 1st place to Jesse and Carly Woolner, 2nd place Kaitlyn Clement and 3rd place Jean Choi
Cookies: 1st place Gemma Laska, 2nd place Louise Wiens and 3rd place Phyllis Bond
Pies & Tarts: 1st place Emilie McTaggart and 2nd place Dawn Robertson
Squares: 1st place Helen Newmarch, 2nd place Louise Wiens and 3 place Cheryl Sayers
