 Chocolate Walk was absolutely fantastic; the weather may have been chilly, but the ambiance was as warm as you can get! Thank you *so* much to everyone for coming out and enjoying beautiful #downtownowosso.

This gratitude tour may be long, but it’s most definitely important to recognize all of the help that went into making the Downtown Owosso Chocolate Walk 2023 happen. The ball got rolling a bit late this year and the event's success is the result of so many individuals stepping up to work together! THANK YOU to every locally owned downtown Owosso business and community partner for your incredible investment in being a Chocolate Walk Stop this year!

Thank you so much to Shannon (Foster Coffee Company) and Kendra (Makeup by Kendra Leigh) for helping plan and put together this event. Melissa and Meghan (Murtle's Handmade Chocolates), you have both been absolutely indispensable with your direction and advice—Thank You! Kandy (chair + table therapeutic massage), I would not have been able to get all of the maps in the bags without your help!

The Sideline Owosso and Salem Ev Lutheran Church, thank you for being the perfect starting points in the Chocolate Walk this year! We had so much positive feedback on how the event was restructured.

Thank you Krystal with American Speedy Printing (111 S. Washington) for being an absolute dream to work with and for making such a beautiful Chocolate Walk map. Thank you for skillfully weaving a lot of information into a simple, elegant and legible design on such short notice.

Thank you Shattuck Specialty Advertising for helping create such awesome bags!

We also really want to thank Owosso Public Works (City of Owosso Government) for helping make this event safe for everyone. You all really stepped up to help make sure that the sidewalks and crossing points were safe for all, and we are so grateful.

Finally, there are so many individuals who have stepped up to help support me (Nick), Owosso Main Street and this event. It is with a heart full of love and gratitude that I deeply thank you for being here, for being a part of our community. Each individual is such a vital part of the whole; we would not be the same without you.
