POCATELLO — The Pocatello Rotary Club and Cole Chevrolet/ Nissan/Kia invite chocolate lovers from throughout the region to join them Jan. 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Idaho State University's Stephens Performing Arts Center for the return of A Chocolate Lover's Affair — A Sinfully Sweet Evening of Chocolate, Music and Fun.

A Chocolate Lover's Affair has become one of Pocatello's signature events. The evening will feature over 20 bakeries, confectioners and estaurants from throughout the region, offering attendees samples of their best chocolate-based creations. Attendees will have an opportunity to vote for the best in each category and best overall. The evening will also feature a silent auction, music by Rail City Jazz and a no-host bar, including a selection of wines.

"This event was a tremendous success and a lot of fun in 2020," said Summer Jackman, past president of the Pocatello Rotary Club. "Tickets sold out, and it was a full house all night. Rail City Jazz was absolutely amazing, and we could not be more thrilled to have them back with us over's Affair Jan. 20 this year. COVID interfered with our ability to hold the event in 2021 and 2022, so we're incredibly excited to be welcoming the community back in January."

Tickets for A Chocolate Lover's Affair are $20 (plus processing fees) and can be purchased online at the event's website www.ChocolateLoversAffair.com.

Net proceeds from the event support the Pocatello Rotary Club's many service projects in the community, including humanitarian service, youth projects, education, health and community beautification.
