Proctor Chocolate Fest should tempt more people
Seriously. Something like this should have banners all over town because I can't think of a much better topic for a festival than chocolate. Sarah and I found a small Proctor District Chocolate Fest pamphlet for the occasion while grabbing a couple personal pizzas at Nick 'n Willy's last night. It all kicked off last Saturday with a chocolate pancake breakfast (yum!) but continues until next Saturday. Between now and then you can pick up a passport that lists 50 Proctor businesses for special deals and samples (hopefully of the chocolate-y variety) and will get codes to enter to win over $2,000 in prizes. The event will end Saturday with a community chocolate bake-off at Knapp's where you can also get forms to enter.
I wasn't around last Saturday but did anyone make the pancake breakfast or have the passport? Sounds like a good time and hopefully I'll find time to swing by the bake-off Saturday.

Photos ~ Balfour Docks construction underway
The pieces of our urban waterfront are coming together nicely for all the world to see at the Tall Ships 2008. Approval of a loan from the City Council last April has come to life as construction begins on the Balfour Docks. A large crane moored in the Foss waterway is easy to spot from Dock Street as construction began yesterday. Tear down and construction of a new cement with wood plank accents dock will easily take through Spring of next year but everyone will surely want it wrapped up by 4th of July and Tall Ships.
