Press release from The History Center:<\/p>\n

History Center’s 25th Festival of Gingerbread rousing success<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(December 14, 2010) – This year’s Silver Anniversary of the Fort Wayne History Center’s Festival of Gingerbread was a huge success and topped records for attendance and dollars raised.<\/p>\n

Now in its 25th year, the Festival, which raises money to support the History Center’s operations, has become a local holiday tradition for the many thousands who come annually to see the more than 100 fanciful gingerbread creations on display.<\/p>\n

Lutheran Health Network was this year’s title sponsor.<\/p>\n

Attendance during the 2010 Festival of Gingerbread attendance rose to over 11,000 with over $80,000 raised. Both totals are all time records for the event, said Todd Maxell Pelfrey, History Center executive director.<\/p>\n

All revenues will be used toward programming and exhibit care at the History Center.<\/p>\n

“Our sincerest thanks go out to the many visitors, supporters, sponsors, and volunteers who made the 2010 Festival of Gingerbread one for the record books” said Pelfrey.<\/p>\n

Photos of many of this year’s creations can be found on the History Center’s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

The History Center is located at 302 East Berry Street, Fort Wayne, Indiana. For more information, visit www.fwhistorycenter.com<\/span>, or call 260.426.2882.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
