New event in Admiral – the Holly Jolly Holiday Fest, presented by the Admiral Neighborhood Association, noon-4 pm at The Sanctuary at Admiral:

The Admiral Neighborhood Association welcomes a visit from Santa Claus on Sunday, December 7th at the Sanctuary at Admiral!

Santa’s visit will be part of our Holly Jolly Holiday Fest, a full afternoon of holiday activities including live holiday music, a gingerbread house contest, a craft bazaar, and a food drive for the West Seattle Food Bank. A photographer will be available to take portraits with Santa for a small donation, or you can bring your own camera.

Gingerbread House Contest Rules and Entry Form

The gingerbread house contest is open to all amateur bakers, in either a youth division (under 16 years old), or adult division (16 and up). First prize in each division is worth up to $50 and winners will have their creations displayed in the window at BAKED custom cakes for the following week.

Gingerbread-house judging starts at 11 am, so you’ll need to drop your creation off by 10:30 am. The Sanctuary is at 42nd/Lander.
