It’s time to “get your cocoa on!” and begin thinking about all that is romantically Willimantic as our Downtown celebrates its 13th Annual Chocolate Festival on Saturday, February 11th. The day begins with the Cupid Made Me Run road race and fundraiser for WAIM, and special chocolate themed events planned at various businesses and venues around Willimantic, including an annual cake contest (22 and counting…) at the Kerri Gallery on Main Street, music with Bruce John on the lunch hour, and so much more.
