Who doesn't love chocolate?

Oh, okay, maybe there are some people who don't like chocolate (what, are you allergic?), but I'm focused on those of you who do.  February being the grand month that it is, we have two big events that feature chocolate.  How cool is that?

Right off the bat, there is the First Friday ArtWalk this very Friday, February 5.  Downtown Flagstaff will be bustling with art and chocolate lovers, because there are almost twenty galleries and downtown locations serving some form of chocolate.  This includes Flagstaff's own resident Willy Wonka-style chocolate-maker, Uncle Buzz, who will be at the Hallway Art Show.

Then, on February 14 (whether you refer to it as Valentine's or Singles' Awareness Day), the Coconino Center for the Arts plays host to the 3rd Annual Valentine's Concert.  We have Anne & Pete Sibley in concert, with special guest and local music phenom, Dave McGraw.  The Sibley's were the winners of the 2009 Great American Duet Sing-Off on NPR's "A Prairie Home Companion".  And if the music wasn't enough to grab you, we have chocolate, too.  

Your ticket to the Valentine's Concert includes admission to a pre-concert Wine & Chocolate Tasting reception.  With chocolate treats from the aforementioned Uncle Buzz and another great local sweet-tooth-soother, Brookside Chocolate Company, this will be a dream for those of you who love chocolate.  We also have great wines for tasting that will be selected by the great palates at the Wine Loft.

There is, of course, lots more happening in the arts and cultural scene in February around Flagstaff.  So get on out there and have a good time! 

Cheers,
