Chocolate Blues and Business stopped by the Fifth Seasons to host Amarillo's first Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival.

Stew Moss provided the blues, as local businesses and national chains alike set up booths to promote their services.

"We have Mary Kay and our Dish on Demand, Xerox dealer," said Becky Miller, area director of Chocoalate Blues and Business, "whatever your business needs are we've got someone out here that's gonna help you with that."

The event has been taken place in thirty states, but this is the first of it's kind here in Amarillo. The main goal of the festival is to promote local business.

"You know honestly I believe that small busniess is what's going to bring our country around to be really great again and very solid," said Miller, "that is just my little way of helping to do that in our community."

Not to mention the chocolate, which came in about every form. Brownies, cookies, even chocolate fondue, the festival provided plenty of sweets and a bluesy atmosphere.
