You’re gonna need a bigger belt for this fun event!
Presented by OnlyinArk.com, the 4th annual World Championship Chocolate Gravy Cookoff is back on Saturday, May 3, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in Downtown Searcy on Spring Street between the Courthouse and First Security Bank. The proceeds benefit Main Street Searcy.
“Since Adria English, an OnlyInArk.com blogger, shared her first experience with chocolate gravy and recipes several years ago, I dreamed of hosting a chocolate gravy cookoff,” said Kristi Thurmon, chair of the event committee and publisher of OnlyInArk.com. “I am so excited that Searcy is hosting this one-of-a-kind, family-friendly event for the fourth time. I believe it will draw people from all over the area as it has in previous years.”
“Chocolate gravy is an interesting dish. It brings back childhood memories for some, and it’s a treat to share with those who have never had it. I always say there are two kinds of people: those who love it, and those who have never tried it. But it always creates great conversations!”
