The following is a news release from the Overton Hotel and Conference Center:
One of our favorite holiday traditions at the Overton Hotel & Conference Center is our annual Gingerbread Display. For the 6th consecutive year, our Culinary Team worked hard to complete this magnificent confectionery masterpiece. There will be an official “unveiling” on Tuesday, December 5th at 4:00 p.m. in the Overton Hotel lobby.
Open to the public, the house will be on display between December 5th and December 31st. Executive Chef Doug Noxon and the Overton team spent countless hours and used hundreds of pounds of gingerbread to complete the design.
This year’s theme is Polar Express! New this year the Overton Hotel is the official mail stop for your Santa letters. Enjoy complimentary hot cocoa and photo ops with the train daily. Santa letters will be available in the lobby for kids to write and mail, or kids are welcome to bring them from home. Santa will make a special stop at Overton Hotel and Conference Center Sunday December 10 and 17 from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m.
The gingerbread project is very unique and reflects our strong partnership with the Texas Boys Ranch. Texas Boys Ranch is a nonprofit, child care/foster care facility, adoption agency and children’s shelter serving West Texas. All proceeds raised from the Gingerbread house benefit the Texas Boys Ranch. Donations can be made at the Overton Hotel’s front desk by purchasing a $5 ornament or a $100 Corporate Sponsorship. Additional donations can be made through purchases at Pecan Grill.
