GINGERBREAD WARMING HOUSE


The Gingerbread Warming House will be open every Friday, Saturday
and Sunday (5:00 pm until 8:00 pm) from Opening Night, November 18th
until December 18th during the River Lights Winter Festival.


In 2009, a new Gingerbread Warming House was created...

... by building wall panels to temporarily close in the walls of the picnic shelter in Toddy Jones Park...

...then painting and decorating the walls...

...and, finally, adding these wonderful mural panels to decorate the outside of these walls...

CLICK HERE to meet the grade 12 art students at St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic Secondary School who designed and built these murals...

... and thanks to their teahcer, Lisa Bastien for all her assistance with this project.



In 2010, another group of grade 12 art students at St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic Secondary School designed and created textile banners
to decorate the inside of the "Gingerbread Warming House."




Please be sure to drop by and view the wonderful artwork both outside and inside of the Warming House.
