Gingerbread Parade - Participating Business Spotlight: Menchie's Frozen Yogurt

The very first frozen dessert I had when I moved back to Southern Utah, was from here: Menchie's Frozen Yogurt. I think part of the draw to this place, is the cheerful colors and that Menchie yogurt swirly spoon logo guy. It's cute. Plus, the kids could color and try and win free yogurt. It's a great location, so centrally located, too. After living here for about 4.5 years now, my daughter finally won herself a free frozen yogurt by having the best coloring page in June. I think it was June. It was back in summer. She was very excited.

Menchie's has won Best Frozen Yogurt in the state of Utah for 5 years! They do this by serving 14 rotating flavors and 60+ toppings. They have excellent service and a clean establishment. 

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt has been a strong supporter of many local events. They have a special going on right now. When you purchase a $25 gift card, you get a $5 bonus for yourself. Yippee.

So, what is your favorite mix? I will tell you mine. I love to get really the fruity yogurt - traditionally sour and pair it with some fruit, at least, that is what I get in summer... in winter, I tend to get something nuttier flavored - I love the peanut butter - and it pairs well with chocolate or Nutella syrup. 


My kids always load it up like it's the main meal - like these above. Haha. Thank you Menchie's Frozen Yogurt for participating in the St. George Gingerbread Parade this year. They are listed as number 10 on our tour map. Go in and vote for their gingerbread house today. All votes qualify to win prizes - no purchase necessary! And if you like the gingerbread house, you can bid on it during our fundraiser for the St George Children's Museum. It will be held, December 14, 1-4pm at the Holiday Market at downtown St. George, Ancestor Square.

2020 - Mary Shipley - Volunteer Baker Spotlight

Image
 A few years ago I got my children involved with Girl Scouts which means, I got sucked into participating as well - but actually I love Girl Scouts - it's a great program and I have met so many wonderful women because of it. One, in particular is Mary Shipley. Mary is the Volunteer Support Specialist for Girl Scouts of Utah. Basically, that means she goes around and hosts events to teach people about Girl Scouts and find moms, aunts or anyone really that would be interested in starting a troop for their girls or nieces. They have  events at the local library and they sometimes put on fun learning age-appropriate activities for the girls. When this is your motto: we build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place - then it's easy to get involved! Mary heard that I was doing this gingerbread thing - so of course, she volunteered to help. Last year she made an awesome Girl Scout cookie themed mid century style gingerbread house - and it was voted

Graduation: 4 years of Gingerbread Parade

Image
  For the last four years I have organized the St George Gingerbread House Parade. And this year, I declare that I have graduated from it. Yippee! I will from here on out be supporting the Jubilee of Trees.  This year I plan to make one Christmas Wreath and one Gingerbread House for charity to raise funds for St George Regional Hospital. I totally get it that a lot of people think that the hospital doesn't need our charity because they got money and we lowly people don't. But, let's try to reason why it's good for the community. Because of the philanthropy of the community, it benefits us. The hospital can expand and bring needed services to the area keeping the costs down for us. You can read more about that here: Foundation/Jubilee of Trees. So, what I am doing is shutting down the nonprofit status of St George Gingerbread House Parade and any remaining funds in the business account will be distributed to a nonprofit in the area as per the rules of the Articles of Inc
