Those with a big sweet tooth turned out Saturday for Big Brothers and Sisters of Portage County's third annual Chocolate Festival at the United Methodist Church of Kent.
Board member Paul Huchok said he participated in the Kent State University Homecoming Parade earlier in the morning with his daughter, Erin Huchok, who dressed as a Hershey Kiss to get the word out about the benefit.
''We have almost 100 children in Portage County who are waiting for a big brother or a sister,'' said planner Andrea Neidert.
Mike Pfahl handed out leaflets along the parade route. Grace Petrie also donned her Hershey Kiss attire to encourage people to attend the Big Brothers and Sisters fundraiser after the parade.
Chocolate lover Erica Seckman brought her children, Amber, Mark, Tori and Leyna, who were ready for a sugar fix, to the festival.
Tammy and Mike Fackler served up their chocolate cake and Ashley and Kathy Drummond brought chocolates shaped like pizzas with matching boxes.
Helen Etling said she loved raspberry and nuts, and Brad Mortensen said he had a penchant for German chocolate cake.
Vikki Fischer assisted with the auction, where a large variety of items were on display.
''With the support of chocolate lovers attending, event sponsors, as well as community-minded supporters, I believe this will be the most successful chocolate festival ever,'' organizer Linda Carlisle said.
Proceeds will benefit Big Brothers and Sisters' one-to-one youth mentoring program.
