How Sweet It Is

It’s not like we needed another reason to look forward to this Friday’s Paint The Town Orange event on the Charlottesville Downtown Mall (6-8:30 p.m, Sept. 2), but we have a giant one thanks to My Chocolate Shoppe. Store owner Mary Schellhammer has spent the last month sculpting a life-size UVA football player made entirely of chocolate. She will unveil the sculpture on Friday at the pep rally.
