Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!
Over 45 items were auctioned at the recent Sundowner held April 23 at the Humane Society of Pagosa Springs Thrift Store. This yearly event, that is held in conjunction with the Pagosa Springs Chamber Sundowner, is one of the several fundraisers that the Humane Society holds throughout the year. Continued...
Over 45 luscious chocolate items went to the highest bidder at last month's Humane Society of Pagosa Springs Sundowner and Chocolate Auction. |
This year's theme was "Mexican Fiesta." Over 180 guests enjoyed a scrumptious meal of a chicken taco with all the fixing's, Spanish rice, fresh watermelon, and a spicy green chili pork stew. Afterward guests took part in the bidding wars for the delectable and incredible chocolate desserts from cakes, brownies, cheese cakes and baskets filled with truffles, chocolate-dipped strawberries and gourmet kitchen cookware and gadgets. Items were donated and created by master chefs and caterers for this chocolate-filled evening that brought in over $10,800! Continued...
Guests were treated to the calling of auctioneer Larry Ashcroft at last month's Chocolate Auction at the Humane Society Thrift Store. The event raised over $10,000 for the animals.

A special thanks to Siri Schuchardt for chairing this event, and to all our special bakers, volunteers, thrift store manager Bonnier Milburn, and staff, who helped make this such an incredible successful evening.
