FOCUS - OCTOBER 2015 13 time Linda Baca had the brainchild to organize this local Gingerbread Village. Support from local busi- nesses has been outstanding over the years Sue noted. New volunteers are always wel- come especially people with electri- cal skills to animate and illuminate the magical village. While some people opt to take their gingerbread treasures home after the show others donate them for display at local nursing homes and retirement residences. Older people love them Sue pointed out. Traditionally spiced with ginger cinnamon cloves and nutmeg the scent of gingerbread is so delightful.
