OAKLAND TOWNSHIP — Twin Lakes Golf Club announces the return of its Gingerbread House Challenge, now in its second year. The event, held from noon to 3 p.m. Dec. 14, invites families and community members to bring their creativity to life with imaginative gingerbread house designs.
Led by Executive Chef Nate Liska and his team, the day will feature decorating tips, pop-up shops from local makers and plenty of cheer, with Chef Nate Liska stepping into character as a holiday elf to spread the season’s magic.
This year, the event gained extra kindness with the support of Ashley Rewold of @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, a local real estate expert.
“At @properties, we believe in more than selling houses; we’re here to build community,” Rewold said in a press release. “The Gingerbread House Challenge brings people together in the most heartwarming way, and I’m honored to help make it a memorable experience for families.”
Laura Helms, Twin Lakes general manager, expressed excitement for the community’s growing involvement in a press release.
“The response from last year was inspiring. Watching families and friends come together in such a creative, joyful way is a testament to the power of our community spirit,” Helms said.
“This is the second year partnering with Neighborhood House to collect mittens and hats for local families in need. The donation collection box will be open all season long, allowing the spirit of giving to continue throughout the holidays.”
Twin Lakes Golf Club is located at 455 Twin Lakes Drive in Oakland Township. For more information, visit www.twinlakesgc.com.
