Vance Program Focuses on Chocolate Shop

HARRISBURG – Sen. Pat Vance's (R-Cumberland/York) April edition of the Vance Report showcases Christine's Chocolate Creations.

The business, which Christine Garrison opened in Carlisle almost seven years ago after working out of her home, produces and sells handmade chocolates and world famous White Chocolate Covered Popcorn. She recently added a location in Mechanicsburg along the Carlisle Pike.

"People in the United States consume 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate annually, which is nearly half of the world's supply," Vance said. "So this delectable treat is obviously very popular. Although, Christmas time is very busy, recently Christine has been busy producing Easter candy including a very large chocolate bunny. She also sells gelato and sorbet at her Mechanicsburg location."

Vance's show airs on Blue Ridge Communications at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays on Channel 8. Comcast Cable that serves the Shippensburg area will air the program at 4 p.m. on Thursdays on Channel 21. Comcast Cable that serves the Carlisle area will air the show at the same time but on Channel 11. York Community Access shows the program at 9 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month on Channel 16. Finally, Comcast Cable in the Greater Harrisburg area will air the program on Channel 20 with no set time schedule.

Vance's district includes all of Cumberland County and Carroll, Fairview, Franklin, Monaghan, Warrington and Washington townships and Dillsburg, Franklintown and Wellsville boroughs in York County.
