Chocolate Deep Dive

Last weekend in Southern Oregon we were forecast to get very unseasonable snow showers, but it would have taken blizzard conditions to keep me away from the 2023 Oregon Chocolate Festival, an event I had been unable to attend for the last five years.

This year, though, we really feel like so much of what was missing the past two years has returned. Within the span of just over a week recently, we were able to enjoy two activities which have marked nearly every summer of the 13 years we've lived in Southern Oregon.
