If you’re a fan of festive craft beer, delightful desserts turned into architectural masterpieces and a jolly good time for the whole family, ‘yule’ love this event!
The second annual Hardywood Gingerbread House Challenge dares local businesses, nonprofits and student groups to form teams and display their holiday spirit and creativity by constructing a gingerbread house centered around the 2018 theme: “Holiday Movies”
Thanks to the goodwill of Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, this exciting event coincides with the release of their popular Gingerbread Stout (which BeerAdvocate calls “freagin’ Christmas in a bottle.”)
Hosted by BHCyp, the young professionals board of the Better Housing Coalition, event attendees will vote on their favorite houses to select the $500 People’s Choice Winner, and a celebrity judging panel will crown the $500 Runner-Up and $1,000 Grand Prize Winner! Houses will be up for auction for the public to purchase and take home that afternoon, and 100% of proceeds will support BHC’s mission of changing lives and transforming communities through high-quality affordable housing.
So don’t be a Scrooge – join the fun and support a great cause!
General admission is FREE, just donate to vote for your favorites! ($5 for 2 votes, $10 for 5 votes)
