.. the background story ..

For several years now, Roosters in Magrath, in support of a local non-profit group called Pals of the Pool, has held a Gingerbread House contest on the evening of the town celebration known as Magrath Hometown Christmas. The purpose of the contest is to raise money for the new swimming pool. Support to renovate the current swimming pool is much needed. While the town has set aside $100,000 for a new pool (so far), it falls short of the 2.5 million in estimated project cost - so we have a way to go. 

Magrath residents are customers of many Lethbridge and Magrath businesses. This year we hope to take the contest to new heights with a 'professional only' category by invitation only (but you can still make your own for fun and for display during Magrath's Hometown Christmas if you so desire!) Completed pro-class submissions will be on display at various locations iin either Magrath or Lethbridge and then will be brought to Roosters on Thu 3 Dec 2015 (Hometown Christmas Eve) for final viewing by the entire town.  However, the pro-class online auction ends at 5pm on 3 Dec so get your bid in before then! As in years past, anyone can create and donate a creation of their own in the fun-class category - and these will be bid on in a silent auction during Hometown Christmas! Any questions? No? Great! 

Thank you to all bidders and builders supporting the Pals of the Pool!
