Mollie Collings and Shelley Terrill built “St. Nick’s Flowers” out of
gingerbread. It is on display in the window of Baker Floral & Botanicals, 2300
Broadway St. in Baker City.
AKER CITY — For the
second year in a row, the
windows of downtown busi-
nesses have transformed into a
gingerbread wonderland.
In 2020, with the cancella-
tion of its annual Holiday Homes
Tour, CASA of Eastern Oregon
recruited volunteers to craft
gingerbread creations to display
in business windows. CASA
created a walking tour map, and
also encouraged people to shop
locally while downtown.
“We are so appreciative to our
volunteers who spent so much
time building their houses,” said
Mary Collard, CASA executive
director. “We hope everyone
will enjoy this special touch of
Christmas cheer all month long.”
This year’s theme is Santa’s
Village. A map of the locations
is available outside the CASA
offi ce at 2024 Main St. Since
CASA cannot hold the homes
tour — a fundraiser for the
Your
Adventure
Awaits!
