Golden Ticket to Adventure Milk + Bookies Event recap

Yesterday, my family and I enjoyed a fun day at Milk + BookiesCharlie and The Chocolate Factory-themed event, Golden Ticket to Adventure at The Grove, Los Angeles. We enjoyed book readings (Jason Biggs and his wife read the book Ten Things I Love About You by Daniel Kirk ),candy samples from See’s Candy, cookies from Mrs. Thinsters, and complimentary water.

The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme was present with actors dressed up as Oompa Loompas, and a “chocolate” (not real chocolate) fountain.
