Chocolate World Expo coming to Nyack

January
22

Chocolate lovers and Valentine’s Day shoppers take note — the Chocolate World Expo is coming to the Palisades Center in Nyack on Feb. 10 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The expo, which will cost $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and children, will feature chocolates, wines, cheeses and related foods from more than three dozen local and regional vendors, including Monsey-based Le Chocolat, Heidi & Arthur Chocolatiers of Valley Cottage, Lanie Lou’s Brownies of Blauvelt, Lucky Chocolates of Saugerties, Pine Bush-based Baldwin Vineyards, the Black & White Cookie Company of Binghamton, Saratoga Peanut Butter Company of Saratoga Springs and Cabot Creamery of Vermont.

The event is a fundraiser for Camp Venture, a care provider for people with developmental disabilities in Rockland County. The majority of the funds raised at the expo will go toward building a year-round therapeutic riding center for more than 1,500 children and adults with developmental disabilities. Five percent of the net proceeds will also go toward tolerance education through the Spring Valley-based Holocaust Museum & Study Center and 5 percent will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rockland.
