A gathering of people were at Little Toad Creek Brewery on Saturday evening to celebrate the success of Chocolate Fantasia 2017. Three chocolate judges had sampled the chocolates in a blind taste test to decide who would be named the top chocolatiers, while a committee of 10 judges gave ratings to the business host decorations, averaging the scores to come up with the sites most in tune with this year's theme, "Wild West Days."
