HEY NEWTON!!! We’re having a scavenger hunt!!! Where is Our Gingerbread Man??
Our NRC Gingerbread Man, Gingy, will be wandering around Newton — and we need your help to bring him home! You will need to join a private Facebook group to receive your clues on Gingy’s location. Each day, Gingy will be hiding inside a local business somewhere in town. Stop by, find him, and pick up the special reindeer candy cane he’s left for you.

By the end of the week, you’ll have a completed gingerbread house — this can be a fun family, co-worker, and friend competition! Once your house is complete, you’ll submit your gingerbread house pictures to cegizi@newtonrec.org for our Facebook community contest.
