Butler County Times Gazette
The El Dorado Chamber of Commerce planned the first ever Chocolate Crawl for Feb. 13, however due to extremely low temperatures brought on by the Polar Vortex, the event was rescheduled for March 6.
“I thought the Chocolate Crawl was a success,” said Cameo Rector El Dorado Chamber of Commerce Director. “It not only provided the Chamber with additional operating funds but as I was crawling myself.”
Crawlers were not disappointed. With a bright, clear day and temperatures climbing into the 60’s, downtown El Dorado was alive with pedestrian traffic as participants made their way into local businesses to sample the chocolate treats. Twenty-one business locations throughout El Dorado volunteered to be “chocolate stops.” Each provided sweet treats with several businesses handing out gift bags with treats.
