This year’s Chocolate & Diamonds fundraiser at the Discovery Center was just as spectacular as it has been in years past. On Friday night supporters of the Discovery Center gathered in cocktail attire and experienced a wonderful night of hours d’oeuvres, chocolate and of course, diamonds. After we were first greeted with champagne we browsed the many silent auction tables and bid hopefully on the items we wanted, and then bought raffle tickets for the diamond necklace. Then it was on to the delicious hors d’oeuvres. The most unique thing on the menu was the tower of macaroni and cheese, served in metallic mini takeout boxes. It was a great presentation and it tasted like heaven. Of course, none of this compared to the chocolate! The displays were beautifully made and the chocolatiers stood proudly behind them as we sampled a variety of truffles and cakes and then cast our votes. The live auction was lively as usual, and then came the diamond raffle. For the second year in a row, someone at the Idaho Trust table won the gorgeous diamond necklace. We seem to be on a winning streak so I will for sure sit at Idaho Trust’s table again next year! Thank you to all of the sponsors and to the Discovery Center for creating such a beautiful evening.
