Online registration is closed. Contact Linda Wandt for dinner availability.

This year's Founders' Day will be held at the Edina Country Club. We are very excited to be bringing in Professor of Food Engineering Richard Hartel, who will be giving his talk entitled The Science of Chocolate.

Did you know that chocolate grows on trees? This talk will focus on how chocolate is made and the fascinating science that goes into turning cocoa beans into the deliciously rich treat. You will also go through a tasting demonstration with numerous chocolate samples to gain an appreciation of different aspects of chocolate science.
