 The St George Children's Museum is a nonprofit organization which means it requires donations and support to stay in business. 

For several years the Museum would host a gingerbread tour as a way to raise money for the Museum. Last  year I took that over and continue to organize the St George Gingerbread House Parade as a way to raise money on behalf of the Museum.  

The Museum's motto is "Discover, Imagine, Create". I cannot imagine another motto more fitting for what this Gingerbread Parade tour provides. An opportunity to let young and old discover new places in town - businesses which host the gingerbread house. It lets the bakers behind these creations use their artistic imagination to create the show stopping baked cookie houses. 

I invite all to learn a little bit about this gem of a Museum which many have worked so tirelessly to provide for our community:

Please consider a donation to the Museum to help keep it open :)

Okay, let's back up a little bit. Let me give you a brief history in a nutshell. I am at the M&S Turquoise retail showroom talking to Brett Sevy, son of Mark Sevy. He is telling me the history. He said that a long time ago when he was a little kid, his dad and mom went to Hurricane with a briefcase full of Native American jewelry and arts, turquoise and silver type jewelry. They were wondering if anyone would be interested in this stuff. So, they took it to Hurricane to try and sell, and they sold all of it! So they thought, people must like this stuff and started the business. At first, it was mostly wholesale and they sold in Las Vegas. Brett grew up there and he describes the place as having a lot of crime so the family moved back up to St. George. At first, they just so...
