It was an exciting evening of salsa dancing and chocolate at the 9th annual Kona Chocolate Festival.

The event was held on Saturday evening at the Keauhou Beach Resort.

Co-organizer, Julie Ziemelis, explains more in this interview.

Later in the week, Sherry Bracken will have more on this special annual event.
