Reliant Gingerbread House Decorating Contest

I was so pleased to participate in the 9th annual Reliant Gingerbread House Decorating Contest. Held on December 8 at the Dallas Arboretum’s A Tasteful Place, selected media outlets and influencers met to raise money for our favorite local charities. Every participant earned $1,000 for their charity just for participating and a panel of judges awarded an additional $1,000 for the runner-up and $2,000 for the winning design. I was thrilled to receive the Judges Award for best house and earn $3000 in total for my charity of choice, Broadway Dallas. But the giving doesn’t stop there! The top entry from a text-to-vote social contest will secure an additional $2,000 donation! Click HERE to see your choices and text to vote for your favorite!
