7TH ANNUAL FOR THE LOVE OF CHOCOLATE GALA


 
Gloria Hafer stands proud with her group of
students from After School Matters at
the
For The Love Of Chocolate Gala held at the 1st floor of the Merchandise Mart.

Tonight we are going to have fun!, was our first thought and we were right.  
Covering events like this one was a joy.  First of all, as a past concierge for the
Holiday Inn Mart Plaza, I walked these hallowed halls many times, 4,000,000 square
feet in fact.  It was finished in 1930, and was the concept of the Marshall Field Family
in 1927 (although
he
passed before it was done) and then sold to the Kennedy family
in 1941 and has since then passed on to others.

Enjoying the scene that met us would have made these ancestors proud!  Especially
with the wonderful assistance of
The Food Channel!

Some of the exciting activities that were taking place included:
Over 60 participating chefs (both sweet and savory)

9.5' X 6' X 5' Replica of Cloud Gate covered entirely in Jelly Belly's by Students in
After School Matters with 400 Jelly Belly ® Jelly Beans per Square Foot

32 pastry chefs and models – in Full Food fashion show

Three visiting celebrity pastry chefs attended  signing autographs by The Bean!
