planning a chocolate fest?

I am trying to put together a chocolate fest at our local fire house to raise money.

It would be open to professionals and amateurs and kids. They would be able to enter their cookies, brownies, cake/pie, cheesecake and candy creations.

Since this would be our first time hosting this event we wouldn't give out hefty prizes, more like ribbons for placing and maybe gift cards.

They would be charged an fee to enter their goods.

The public would be invited to sample the creations after judging.

So far I have the idea to call and invite, or mail invites, to local bakeries, executive chefs at country clubs and hotels and restaurants. As well as culinary schools and trade schools. We would also advertise in the local paper, our website and send Facebook invites with a spread the word attached...

We would provide tables but the entrants would have to bring everything else they need.

Availability of electricity is limited so we would ask people try to limit their need for it.

We are thinking of having it in mid June.

I am not sure if we are going to have wine served, it might be a soda/water only beverage selection.

Do I sound like I have all bases covered? Am I missing anything?
