I had a blast attending the 40th Anniversary Screening of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" which featured an appearance by the film's director Mel Stuart, lots of Chefs and Chocolatiers (I was in heaven) and the finale for the Grand Chocolate Awards at the UltraLuxe Cinemas at  Anaheim Garden Walk.  All proceeds from Chocolate- The Event benefit MUZEO's Eniro program to bring arts to children and the community.  MUZEO is one of Anaheim's premier museums, exploring and celebrating culture and the arts through creative programming(:  For more information visit http://www.chocolatetheevent.com/ and http://www.muzeo.com/  .  More captions will be added...   HH(:
