Faith and Friends Radio is hosting a festival dedicated to one of the most beloved food groups: chocolate. The Christian Internet radio station, which launched in 2011, presents the 18th annual Chocolate Festival at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Dayton on Saturday, Oct. 2.

The annual fundraiser for Faith and Friends will again feature a wide variety of chocolate and non-chocolate products, plus unique craft items offered by dozens of local and regional vendors.

Every year, people enter the chocolate recipe contest with chocolate ice cream pies, cheesecakes, cookies, fudges, truffles and others. Entrants are judged on taste, appearance, creativity and presentation.

The event features chocolatiers, arts & crafts vendors, food trucks, games, a chocolate recipe contest and a performance from Christian musician Nancy Honeytree.
