Join us at 7 p.m. on February 13, in the Milford Community Center for the program History of the

Hershey Chocolate Company presented by Laura Keyes. Today the name Hershey is synonymous

with quality milk chocolate. But that wasn’t always the case. Milton S. Hershey worked hard and

failed often before his chocolate company was finally successful. And when he did become a

household name and had earned a vast fortune, Milton and his wife Catherine decided to give it

all away. Because of their generosity, tens of thousands of orphans have been saved, protected,

and educated. A program about chocolate wouldn’t be complete without hot chocolate! Plus

other treats will be available for attendees. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the

Arnolds Park Library, Friends of the Milford Library and Friends of the Spirit Lake Public Library.
