Thursday, December 5, 2024, 6pm to 8pm, at the Almira Town Hall in downtown Lake Ann.
The Main Event
Join us for The Great Holiday Cookie Challenge. In the quaint and frosted village of Lake Ann, where winter’s breath curls beneath every eave and chimney, ten humble bakers, each hailing from this charming hamlet, shall be chosen by the hands of fortune to vie for the coveted title of Lake Ann’s Favorite Holiday Cookie. The air, thick with the heady aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and fresh-baked joy, will swirl about the gathering townsfolk, who, with eager anticipation, shall cast their votes for the confection that stirs the heart and soul alike.
The victor, crowned by the collective voice of the people, shall not only revel in the sweet satisfaction of triumph but shall see their name, in proud script, etched upon the annual trophy—a symbol of their mastery. And as a token of the village’s esteem, a commemorative gift shall be bestowed, ensuring their legacy is preserved in the annals of Lake Ann’s festive tradition.
You be the Judge
As a judge, you shall partake in the delightful endeavor of sampling ten exquisite homemade cookies, each crafted with love by ten talented bakers of Lake Ann.
Your discerning palate shall guide us in selecting the worthy baker who shall be crowned as Lake Ann’s favorite holiday cookie creator. Indulge in a fun-filled evening of sweet treats and community spirit!

Our Mission
The Village of Lake Ann is dedicated to hosting a series of free community events that bring joy and togetherness to all. To support these beloved traditions—such as the Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Party, decorating the park for Christmas, the Santa Parade with a meet-and-greet, and more—we are seeking to raise funds. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the Holiday Committee, which organizes and facilitates these events.
The funds will be used to purchase much-needed items like new Christmas lights, extension cords, outdoor timers, decorations for all events, and crafting supplies. Your generosity ensures that we can continue offering these festive experiences to our community, free of charge, year after year. Help us keep the spirit of the holidays alive in Lake Ann!
