2024 Gingerbread Haven

Another Great Event!

2024 Gingerbread Haven was a magical event again, for families, for co-workers, and for all ages of guests, enjoying a fun way to welcome in the Christmas season by decorating gingerbread houses together! As always, there was more than 2 tons of the most amazing candy available for guests to select from, a whimsical balloon wonderland, and fun elves donating their time to serve the guests.

The custom aprons again did not disappoint, one color for adults, and another color for children, in a coordinating pattern. Each year Midland Fair Havens hosts the ladies’ luncheon for adults, and then in the afternoon they host an after school event for children to attend with their parents and grandparents. It has become a tradition for many families and businesses to enjoy, as a ‘gift’ to their employees for team building and fellowship over the noon hour, or as a family gathering in the afternoon.

Some quotes include, “this is the most special family tradition at Christmas now, with all generations enjoying decorating gingerbread houses together”. Another quote from an office group is “we all look forward to this Christmas gift from our office every year now!” What an amazing fundraiser that helps families in the Midland Fair Havens program while also benefitting the donors in our community who attend the event!

To volunteer for preparation the months in advance, or to help set up the weekend prior the event, or to volunteer as an elf, (businessmen for the luncheon, and teenagers for the afternoon family event), please contact Midland Fair Havens on their website, www.mfh.org.
