Last days for Book Buddies display
There’s only a short time for Columbus residents to take a look into the windows of Gramz Bakery and see an array of story-themed gingerbread houses.
The houses, which will be taken down on Monday, come from Book Buddies, a volunteer-based tutoring program that helps second and third graders in the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. improve their reading skills.
Book buddies director Debbie Lindauer said that for the past seven years, the program has put together gingerbread houses and displayed them as a way to raise funds. The tradition first began at the Inn at Irwin Gardens in 2013. The idea came from Ashleigh Fisher, who was the event coordinator for the inn at the time.
