Gingerbread Village Opens tonight at Ford Center
The opening of the 4th Annual Gingerbread Village and a chance to meet the creators of the gingerbread houses is tonight, December 9th, from 6 – 7:30 pm.
Ford Center’s 2013 Gingerbread Village goes on display Dec. 9 from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. and will run through Dec. 20. To see the Gingerbread Village, visit the Ford Center weekdays between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
On days of Ford Center performances, it will be on display during regular box office hours. Gingerbread contest participants will be listed in the Ford Center’s event programs, have signage identifying their gingerbread house, and have permission include business flyers and coupons with their gingerbread house. Participants will also be included in the press releases and emails sent from the Ford Center, as well as posts on Ford Center social media.
The Gingerbread Village supports local food pantries by asking visitors donate non-perishable items.
