Gingerbread Haven
Gingerbread Haven is a gingerbread house decorating extravaganza that includes a box luncheon event for adults and an after-school event for families. Gingerbread houses, candy, and icing are provided for each of our guests to create a Christmas keepsake while adding a little sugar and spice to the lives of Midland Fair Havens' single mothers and their children. This event is the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit!
