THE MAIN EVENT
Join us for The Great Holiday Cookie Challenge. In the quaint and frosted village of Lake Ann, where winter’s breath curls beneath every eave and chimney, ten humble bakers, each hailing from this charming hamlet, shall be chosen by the hands of fortune to vie for the coveted title of Lake Ann’s Favorite Holiday Cookie. The air, thick with the heady aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and fresh-baked joy, will swirl about the gathering townsfolk, who, with eager anticipation, shall cast their votes for the confection that stirs the heart and soul alike.

The victor, crowned by the collective voice of the people, shall not only revel in the sweet satisfaction of triumph but shall see their name, in proud script, etched upon the annual trophy—a symbol of their mastery. And as a token of the village’s esteem, a commemorative gift shall be bestowed, ensuring their legacy is preserved in the annals of Lake Ann’s festive tradition.

MIX & MATCH COOKIE BAKE SALE
Step into a world of sweet enchantment at the Mix & Match Cookie Bake Sale, located in the lower level of the Town Hall. The cookies will be generously donated by the good folk of Lake Ann. This is your chance to create your own holiday cookie platter. A sure way to delight your guests and fill your home with the joy and warmth of the season.

Price: $10 / per dozen

YOU BE THE JUDGE
