First-ever Chocolate Tour planned in Iuka
By Tristyn Stoop

IUKA – Inspired by other cities, Iuka will host its first-ever Chocolate Tour.
The tour, which costs only five dollars, is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 8, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The idea for the tour came from Lori Wahlstrom, who shared that 10 businesses have already joined in on offering homemade chocolate.
“Hernando did it, and I think Collierville did it,” she said. “It was something that would be doable for our small downtown.”
Debbie Hale, the Executive Director of Main Street Collierville in Tennessee, said for the around five years their tour has been held, they sell out each time.
Hale said this year 200 tickets have been sold.
Wahlstrom said it wouldn’t be an expensive event to offer in Iuka.
Plus, she said it will get traffic to shops and allow people to stop at other businesses downtown that do not usually offer things to sell.
So far the tour includes O’Claire’s Boutique & Gift Shop, Friendly Florist, Moore’s Jewelry, Purple Hippo Fabric Co., Creative Spaces, 662 Nutrition, Rooster Tail Gallery & Studio, Solutions Rx, Pray Pottery, and The Curated Cottage.
“So it’s just something to add to this time of year when business is a little slow,” Wahlstrom said. “In February it kind of ties in with Valentine’s and chocolate. So it just seemed a natural fit.”
If chocolate and the support of local businesses weren’t already two great motivations for the tour, the money raised would be going toward the lighting project downtown.
“So it’s kind of a fundraiser, but it’s not. That’s not necessarily the sole purpose behind it,” Wahlstrom explained.
To begin the tour, guests will purchase a card from The Place – located at 102 Front Street – and then can get their card marked or punched.
Wahlstrom said they can then return the card to The Place when it is complete to be entered into a drawing for door prizes.
“This is really an exciting event,” said Mayor Kenny Carson. “I mean, it’s chocolate! You can’t go wrong with chocolate and it’s for a great cause.”
To check for updates on when and where to buy tickets, as they may begin to sell them early, call Wahlstrom at (662) 424-3172.
She said the plan is to make this an annual event.

“I think we’ve had a good reaction to most of it,” said Chief Operating Officer Jason Grisham. “We’ve changed out right at 1,500 lights. We got the main corridors with the bigger lights done first, and then we did some of the smaller lights in the first year. The second year was pretty much all small lights.”
