Salem’s So Sweet Chocolate & Ice Sculpture Festival Weather Adjustments:
The Salem’s So Sweet Chocolate & Wine Tasting, planned for this Friday night, will be postponed until Friday February 15. The event, which always sells out, will take place at the same location, Colonial Hall at Rockafellas, and will start at 6.30pm. Pre-sold tickets will be fully transferable, and people who are unable to attend, can choose to receive a refund or make a donation to Salem Main Streets for the same amount.
The Golden Ticket contest will go on as planned tomorrow, and will last until next Sunday! But we received an update from the sculpture company: They do not expect to have their power back on until tomorrow to load the sculptures..... So we made the executive decision to postpone the sculpture portion of the festival until next Saturday and Sunday..... Hope you'll come!
