For 20 years, a centerpiece of the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library’s member holiday party has been the “cookie village” created by Girard Gourmet baker Francois Goedhuys – a recreation of La Jolla in cookie form. This year, without a holiday party at which to gather, the Athenaeum has decided to place the custom creation in the window of its art center at 1008 Wall St.
It will be on display for the general public through the month of December.
In a statement of Athenaeum supporters, Athenaeum Executive Director Erika Torri explained the cookie village was “always a delight and for everybody a memory for many years to come. This year, because of the pandemic, it was not possible. But we could not give up the tradition.”
