Mr Steve Sellers and all of his carpentry students were transported and recognized today with a ribbon cutting of the gingerbread houses at the Omni Bedford Springs. Mr Sellers and his students created the structures for the display and the Pastry Chef Harshel Naik and his staff baked and decorated the structures. Welding students also had a hand in the mix creating a cutting die for the gingerbread bricks. Pictured are Mr Sellers and Harshel Naik. More photos to come. Congratulations on such an awesome display by everyone involved. https://www.wtaj.com/studio814/omni-bedford-springs-unveils-gingerbread-village-at-resort/ 📸 Look at this post on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/Y32fXr6Q7vJKzxEF/?mibextid=aI5dXw
