Local history dominates 16th annual Homewood Chocolate Fest

Homewood's 2018 Chocolate Fest took on an historic flavor in honor of the village's 125th anniversary. The Homewood Historical Society (HHS) took top honors in the annual chocolate bake-off at the festival on Saturday in the Homewood-Flossmoor Park District Auditorium. The organization's team entered a variation on a treat that was born the same year Homewood was incorporated — the brownie.
