February 26, 2020 The Beacon • 23 28th annual chocolate extravaganza held at CCCC out to help. It takes a great community effort to pull this off,” Cornell said. A l l pro ce e d s b e nef it the many programs of the Pomerene Center. Cornell said each attend- e e cou ld pick f ive de s - serts to fill their container. There were several of each to choose from: one piece of pie or cheesecake, one piece of cake or torte, and three sweet treats including cookies, brownies or candy. Drinks also were available for those who wanted to socialize and enjoy their treats at the event. Brianna Grace and her son, Grayson Willis, were at the event for the first time. She said her co-worker had told her about it. Grayson Willis, 2, had a s’mores treat while Grace said a peanut- butter cake was her favor- ite. Her friend, Kimberly Wood, also brought her son, Axyl Landis, 1. Wood had peanut-butter cheesecake while Axyl had a cookie. Emily Marrison and her daughter, Julia Adams, also were at the event for the f irst time. Adams hoped there would be fudge to try and was happy to be there because she loves all kinds of chocolate. Mar rison said they decided to go to support the Pomerene Center and all of the programs it provides. “And I love chocolate, just like Julia,” she said. Joan McNeely was one of the volunteers at the event and has been volunteering since the first time the choc- olate extravaganza was held. “We started in two rooms at the Pomerene Center and did it from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. We had to split every- thing into two groups to be sure we had enough for both sessions. It’s so much bet- ter over here — lots more room. I think several people are taking their desser ts to the Big Band Dance at Lake Park later tonight,” McNeely said. McNeely also bakes for the event ever y year. “I made two mocha cheese- cakes this year,” she said. K ayla , Bill a nd Cor y Craddock also were at the event for the first time. “My sister-in-law comes every year, and we finally had a chance to come too,” Kayla Craddock said. Bill Craddock, 6, said he really liked his “cherry thing because the cherry Jen Jones was really juicy,” and Cory Grayson Willis, 2, enjoyed a s’mores dessert at the 28th annual extravaganza on Saturday, Feb. 15.
