Gingerbread Festival
Posted by: Administrator

Our Tenth Annual Gingerbread Festival was a huge success!

We displayed nearly 70 gingerbread houses made by members of our community. Over 800 people visited our Festival to listen to music by the Valley Chords, engage in children’s crafts like decorating cookies, shop at our Gingerbread Store and have lunch at our Gingerbread cafe. The Festival raised a record $28,962!

We are grateful to our friends and neighbors for coming out in drizzly weather to celebrate this joyful season with us. The families who benefit from the funds raised at our Festival will have the chance to learn and establish positive parenting practices, and to give their children the foundation they need for a life of learning, connecting, and happiness.

Check back soon for details on the winners of the Gingerbread House Competitions!
