 On November 30, 2013, Traditions Club in Bryan, Texas, broke a Guinness World Record
by building the World’s Largest
Gingerbread House. The house was built on Club grounds and was open to the public for two weeks to see, touch,
visit Santa Claus, and sneak a bite!
There was a nominal fee charged, and
all net proceeds went to help build the
new St. Joseph Trauma Center in Bryan. We pooled together over 200 volunteers made up of Club staff, Club members, hospital staff, and public wanting to help. We started with a vision of building the
World’s Largest Gingerbread House; however, our mission was always to raise as much money as we could for
St. Joseph Hospital. What happened next was totally unexpected – media,
and lots of it!. I had hoped that the local
media would have an interest, and they
did. This news quickly went statewide,
then nationwide, then worldwide. Every local, national, and world media outlet
picked up this story. To name just a
few – The Today Show, CNN, Fox News, Huffington Post, People, Live
with Kelly and Michael, KAZA China, NTN24 Mexico, Jewish News One, Irish
Examiner and Luxury Trump. Good
Morning America listed it as one of
the top five “must see” sights in the
world for the holidays! This went out
to over 30 countries and in 21 different
languages. Would you like to read more?
