The third annual Alabama Chocolate Festival in Rainbow City, is scheduled for April 5, 2008 at the football/soccer field at Rainbow Middle School. We promise more and more chocolate, in all shapes and sizes. Pies, cakes, cookies, and candies will be available from vendors, some free, some to buy, but more varieties than at last year's inaugural event.

The 3rd annual Alabama Chocolate Festival will take place Saturday, April 5 from 10:30 AM to 8 PM. “We have outgrown the venue at Rainbow Plaza and are moving to a larger area, the football/soccer field at Rainbow Middle School.
We appreciate the
support we have received from people all over the region. Their interest and
attendance has allowed us to increase the caliber of entertainment and special
events at this year’s festival. The growth in attendees each of the first two
years included many people who live in many cities and counties, some a hundred
miles away from Rainbow City.”
Charlotte Phifer, chairperson of Project EDGE (Economic Development Growth
Excellence), added, “Our committee has been involved in several programs in the
city but none with the positive impact of the chocolate festival. It is hard to
believe this year will be just our third. I guess we underestimated the appeal
of “chocolate’ in attracting people.” Activities planned this year by Ms.
Phifer’s committee are the Chocolate Taste Off with awards given to the best
cookies, cakes, pies and candies, all with chocolate as part of their recipe; a
carnival that will set-up adjacent to the site on Friday, the 4th and be ready
for kids of all ages as part of the event; musical entertainment will begin at
10:30a.m. and run till 8 p.m.
