The Butterfly Shoppe |
Here’s a trail that’s sweeter than Harbour Passage.
The Gingerbread Trail is a new fundraiser in Saint John, which will see 21 businesses across uptown build their own gingerbread house to be displayed and raffled off before Christmas. All proceeds from the fundraiser go straight to kids at The Joshua Group and non-profit group Gala Ballet Productions.
Gala Ballet board member Darlene Baker tells CHSJ news they encourage the shop owners to make the houses from scratch and use the “Land of Sweets” theme from their upcoming production of The Nutcracker.
She says the business are really excited about creating the sweet houses, and there’s a prize for the best one. The Nutcracker is playing at the Imperial Theatre December 8th & 9th.
Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5, with the draw happening on December 22nd.
