and candy architects get all the fixings to build the ultimate dream house,
as well as expert guidance from Tenaya’s culinary team, while onlookers
are welcome to browse the “neighborhood” free of charge.

Workshop on Nov. 25 and Dec. 21 and 23. Holiday lovers of all ages can

popular outdoor ice-skating rink opens for the season on Nov. 22 with a
grand celebration complete with complimentary hot chocolate. Weather and

and balloon drop! Kids can also join the party with separate, supervised
