Excitement is “building” about The 2^nd Annual Gingerbread Stroll in Highland Park Village, Thursday, November 16 through Friday, November, 30, 2012! Attendees will stroll among fourteen Highland Park Village merchants and silently bid on elaborate gingerbread houses created Dallas’ top pastry chefs—from The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas to the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek to The Four Seasons Resort and more! 100 percent of the proceeds from this annual event will benefit a local children’s charity—the 2012 beneficiary is Community Partners of Dallas! 

Stroll attendees may vote at Celebrity Café & Bakery for their favorite gingerbread house and be entered to win several prizes, including a Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek Overnight Stay and Breakfast Certificate, a Holiday Carriage Ride for six departing from Highland Park Village by Threejays Carriages (www.threejayscarriages.com), a dinner for two at Cafe on the Green at the Four Seasons Resort and Club, a $150 SER Steak + Spirits Gift Card at Hilton Anatole, and MORE!
