First Annual Sioux Empire Christmas Cookie Bakeoff

A young girl sits in a hospital room decorated for the holidays with her mother by her side and her favorite nurse near her, wondering what kinds of festivities are going on outside her window right here in the Sioux Empire. Holiday parades, visits to Santa, goodies baking, sledding, snowball fights, Christmas morning at home. This young girl will miss all of these, but with the help of our whole community she is about to learn that we have not overlooked her, she is not forgotten, even though we are out having our own celebrations, the Sioux Empire cares about her.

Let’s bring some Christmas cheer to this girl and other children just like her at Children’s Care Hospital and School!

Star Performance Complex has partnered with the Hood Magazine and other fine sponsors to hold the First Annual Sioux Empire Christmas Cookie Bakeoff. All proceeds will benefit the Children’s Care Hospital and School. This event is like no other thrown in our area before and the oven mitts are off. Grandma’s cutouts versus mom’s peppermint candy canes, a church lady’s peanut butter balls versus a PTA mom’s gingerbread. Who will win the title of the best Christmas Cookies in the Sioux Empire? There is even a category of gingerbread house decoration for the kids.

With local celebrity judges, vendors, performances, visits with Santa, a silent auction and more, this event will warm your heart while it puts you in that holiday spirit. The children of Star Performance’s Competition teams are working hard with us to bring Christmas to the special children at Children’s Care Hospital and School. We are asking for your help in bringing extra special Christmas cheer for the children at Children’s Care.
