Death by Chocolate with Thea Lewis

Who was UVM’s deadliest student? Where did the White Lady make her home? What caused The Hermit of Champlain to be so retiring? Why do troublesome ghosts linger inside the former property of Vermont’s most famous smuggler? We discovered the answers to these stories and more at Death by Chocolate - stories by Vermont’s Queen of Halloween, Thea Lewis.

This spooky soiree included South End treats! Each ticket included one Switchback beer (for those 21 and older only) paired with three types of chocolates from Lake Champlain Chocolates.
