For the Love of Art and Chocolate
"What
a beautiful event"... "So much chocolate; I couldn't sample it all"...
I can't believe how many wonderful pieces of art are here"...
"I'm definitely coming again next year, and bringing friends, too!"
These were just a few of the comments we heard from satisfied guests and
ClearWater supporters. "Art, chocolate, jazz, and conservation...
there's no better combination!"
