The Junior League of Greenwich (JLG) hosted 80 children at the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich (BGCG) in a gingerbread cookie workshop this weekend. The event, now a JLG tradition, is held annually as a prelude to “The Enchanted Forest,” which has its official opening on Friday, Nov. 17 at 9 a.m. for Santa’s Breakfast attendees. General admission hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 17 and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18.
The gingerbread cookie workshop allows eager children to use their creative talents and take home a fully decorated, one-of-a-kind “masterpiece.” JLG members created holiday magic by filling tables at the Boys and Girls Club with bowls of multi-color candies and plenty of icing to allow children to exercise their imaginations. The children, often accompanied by parents and grandparents, spent time carefully choosing just which colors and types of decorations they wanted to use to make their very own work of art.
The gingerbread workshop has become a beloved pre-holiday tradition for both the Junior League and the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich.
