What a sweet way to spend the day

CUDDEBACKVILLE — All of your chocolate wishes can come true at the Neversink Valley Museum’s Valentine’s Day Chocolate Dessert Social on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014. It runs from noon to 4 p.m. Many delicious varieties of chocolate and other desserts will be available. Choose three irresistible desserts for $7; beverages are free. All are available for takeout or to enjoy at the DandH Canal Visitor’s Center.

In addition, the Museum will offer fresh, handcrafted chocolate candies and other sweet treats bundled in festive Valentine’s Day packages for sale at the event. All items are reasonably priced and make perfect gifts for all of your favorite sweethearts.

This event is to raise funds for the Neversink Valley Museum, which will open for the 2014 season in April. Look for the new exhibition, “Then and Now around the DandH Canal,” which will feature photographs dating from the 19th and early 20th century from their collection when the DandH Canal reigned supreme in the region, as well as new photographs by Andrew Chattaway taken in or near the same location. This exhibition will open in Spring 2014.
