Last Thursday, we enjoyed a wonderful turnout for our winter fundraiser, “The Ultimate Gingerbread Design Competition“.
Our guests enjoyed two festive cocktail demos, with architectural designer and mixologist Nikolas Hill and our virtual audience watched as eight teams battled for the top prize, showing off their dazzling designs through the medium of video!
