Barbara's Gingerbread Bash - Aimee O
On Saturday, December 9, more than 400 people attended Barbara’s Gingerbread Bash presented by Fitzgerald Auto Malls Subaru of Rockville at Art Works Now in Hyattsville, MD. This 11th annual event was eagerly anticipated by the community and the free ticket reservations “sold” out in just over two hours. Over the course of five hours on December 9, hundreds of families came into the Art Works Now main studio, which was decorated like a winter candy land, and built their gingerbread house creations with graham crackers, icing, and more candy than you can imagine! As the presenting sponsor, Subaru helped bring an incredible amount of JOY to hundreds of families from Prince George’s County, Northeast Washington, DC, and the region. After finishing their sweet and sticky creations, participants were directed to the Art Works Now courtyard where they were greeted by Subaru ambassadors giving away plush Subaru dogs, pencils, and other goodies. Participants also got to meet “Gingy” the gingerbread person, enjoy hot cocoa, and take photos. As a small non-profit organization, Art Works Now depends on private donations to be able to offer community events such as Barbara’s Gingerbread Bash. As the presenting sponsor, Subara ensured that Art Works Now was able to offer this tradition again in 2023. Who joined us at Barbara’s Gingerbread Bash? Everyone! Parents attended with little kids, teens attended with groups of friends, and several older adults came by themselves or with a partner to feel like a kid again. It was a day of true community spirit and love made possible by Subara’s generous sponsorship.
