I&M Pays Admission to the Festival of Gingerbread

I&M treated more than more 1,000 people to free admission during a night of the Festival of Gingerbread, a popular holiday tradition at the History Center in downtown Fort Wayne.

A record 1,197 visitors attended on Indiana Michigan Power Festival of Gingerbread Free Night to view the more than 100 creations made of gingerbread and other edible materials by artists ranging from pre-schoolers to adult professional chefs. Organizers said visitors included many families with a number of children and grandchildren, who were grateful to I&M for the ability to view the creations without paying the admission fee.

I&M, a longtime sponsor of the Festival of Gingerbread, awarded the gingerbread house created by Study Elementary School students for its originality, appearance and message.
