Chocolate lovers and philanthropists alike gathered at the Statehouse Convention Center for the 23rd annual Chocolate Fantasy Ball benefiting Ronald McDonald House Arkansas & North Louisiana. Guests indulged in an array of decadent chocolate desserts and sweet treats while bidding during a lively live auction, helping the event raise a record-breaking nearly $900,000 to house families of children receiving care in local hospitals. Chaired by Phyllis Rogers, the evening also recognized Sissy’s Log Cabin as the 2026 honoree.
