From Historic Brookville to Cook Forest
Friday Nov. 4th - Sunday Nov. 6th
Rt. 36 North - Rt. 322 Downtown - Side Roads
Great ladies with a great cause are seldom defeated and never deterred. Inspired by the talent of local artisans and their hand crafted wares, Pat MacBeth gathered her friends and customers and initiated the Gingerbread Tour which runs from Brookville to Cooksburg. This pre-Christmas shopping trip occurs annually in early November.
Each store is unique and offers shoppers a variety of interesting treasures.
Since Pat's passing last year, a handful of new stores have been added and the initiative continues as this great lady would have wished. Her foresight and interest in promoting the Magic Forest continues as well. Please join us as you kick off your holiday shopping this season.
