What could be sweeter than spending an evening savoring decadent chocolate desserts while supporting a noble cause? The annual Chocolate Affair offers the perfect opportunity for chocoholics and dessert enthusiasts to indulge in an irresistible array of chocolate delights—all while raising funds for a worthwhile organization. Event Details Held on a delightful Wednesday evening in early March, the Chocolate Affair is hosted by Home of Hope, Vinita’s sweetest event that brings together the community for a night of gastronomic pleasure. Attendees can look forward to a sumptuous selection of chocolate desserts and sweet treats prepared by the finest restaurants, caterers, specialty shops, and wineries from Vinita and the surrounding Grand Lake area. A Sweet Tradition For many years, the Chocolate Affair took place at the Craig County Community Center. However, in 2021, the challenges posed by the pandemic necessitated a change in format. Embracing the spirit of adaptability, the Home of Hope transformed the event into a drive-through experience. This innovative approach not only ensured safety through social distancing but also garnered popularity among attendees. In past years, vendors delighted guests with delicious chocolate samples and an assortment of other tasty treats. For the drive-through event, all delectable sweets and chocolate delights were conveniently assembled into pre-packaged treat bags, allowing ticket holders to savor the experience from the comfort of their own homes. Highlights of the Evening The Chocolate Affair features a plethora of engaging activities beyond the tantalizing chocolate treats. Guests can participate in a silent auction, which has transitioned online since the event became a drive-through format. The event is known for its fun and creative themes, ranging from a whimsical safari to the enchanting world of Willy Wonka. Attendees have enjoyed special surprises over the years, including visits from Willy Wonka himself and even a free double-feature movie screening on one memorable occasion. Supporting a Worthy Cause The Chocolate Affair serves as a vital fundraiser for Home of Hope, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing residential, vocational, and quality-of-life programs for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities across northeast Oklahoma. The event was launched in 2008 to bolster Home of Hope's programs and operations. Dr. Ralph Richardson, CEO of Home of Hope, emphasizes the significance of contributions to the event: “The support from the Chocolate Affair helps us achieve our mission of promoting choices, independence, and a meaningful life for the individuals we serve. As state and federal funding sources continue to dwindle, events like this are crucial for sustaining our services. We are incredibly grateful to the vendors and guests who make this event a success.” About Home of Hope Established in 1968, Home of Hope, Inc. operates in Vinita, Jay, Miami, Claremore, Grove, and Pryor. The organization serves over 270 individuals with developmental and other disabilities, employing more than 600 staff members to provide high-quality care and support. Event Location and Ticket Information The drive-through Chocolate Affair will be held at the Home of Hope Administrative Building, located at 226 W. Dwain Willis Ave. Tickets for this delectable event can be purchased online or at several locations in Vinita, including: Clanton’s Cafe Lucille’s Flowers & Gifts Vinita Daily Journal Centsible Spending Home of Hope Administrative Building For more information on the event, ticket purchases, and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Shelby Stewart, Marketing and Development Coordinator, at (918) 256-7825 ext. 168 or via email at shelby.stewart@homeofhope.com.

A wide range of exterior surfaces can benefit from pressure washing services, including: Residential House and Exterior Siding (Stucco and Vinyl) Dock Cleaning (Wood and Composite) Decks Patios and Porches Driveway and Concrete Fences Boats (Exterior and Interior) Commercial Services: Exterior Building Parking Lots Concrete Metal Trash Can Enclosures for Sanitation Purposes Cleaning exterior wood surfaces is only half the job. For long-lasting protection and beauty, the trained professionals at Lake Property Services will stain natural wood decks, patios and docks with Sherwin-Williams semi-solid stain.

From the vibrant landscapes of Grand Lake to the intricate details of architecture, I have been fortunate to witness and capture the world in ways that celebrate both the grandeur of nature and the subtleties of human connection. With a lifelong passion for the outdoors and a growing eye for the artistic elements of life, I specialize in various types of photography that highlight the natural beauty of the world and the personalities of those within it. My Journey: From Adventure to Art Throughout my younger years, I immersed myself in outdoor activities such as off-road motorcycling, hang gliding, and boating on California’s Monterey Bay. Initially, I saw myself as an adventurer, someone focused on the thrill of the outdoors, rather than an artist. However, as I grew older, I started noticing the light, shapes, and patterns that others around me seemed to overlook. This new awareness led me to discover a passion for photography that I never anticipated. When I moved to Oklahoma and settled on the shores of Grand Lake, I gained the perfect environment for my newfound passion. With 60 miles of pristine freshwater at my doorstep, I regularly took my camera outdoors, capturing nature and wildlife in its endless variety. From that point on, nature and wildlife photography became my calling. Expanding My Lens: People, Homes, and Commercial Photography As I honed my skills, I also discovered the joy of capturing the essence of people. My background in counseling gave me a unique perspective on understanding personalities, allowing me to capture individuals in authentic, expressive ways. This skill set naturally evolved into capturing the beauty of homes and businesses through architectural and real estate photography. In addition to personal portraits and properties, I began to explore telling compelling stories through photos. One of my most beloved projects was The Secret Life of the Grand Lake Pelican, which gained popularity as a photo book. This led to the creation of another book, Jerry Ann’s Place, along with various photo collections paired with music and transitions, creating video-like productions that have been featured on local and national television. Photography Services Today, my work encompasses a variety of photography services, each designed to bring your story, business, or personal moments to life: Nature and Wildlife Photography: Capturing the breathtaking beauty of the outdoors, with prints available in canvas, metal, and ceramic. Architectural & Real Estate Photography: Showcasing homes and businesses with professional photography for listings, brochures, and more. Business Photography: Product shots, photo tours, and website images to bring your business to life. Photo Books: Creating stunning custom photo books that tell your unique story. Video/Proshow Presentations: Combining photography with music and motion to create immersive storytelling. Event Photography: Documenting your special events, from weddings to receptions. Seniors: Capturing your senior’s personality with thoughtful and artistic portraits. Drone Photography and Videography: Taking your photography to new heights with breathtaking aerial shots. Living in Grand Lake of the Cherokees has inspired me to share the natural beauty of this freshwater paradise with others. My photography now graces local and national television, magazines, and newspapers across the country. Through my lens, I aim to communicate the beauty of the world around us. Let me bring your vision to life with professional, artistic, and meaningful photography. Contact me today to schedule a session or learn more about my services! [read more]
