SUMMARY:Halloween Baking Championship Community Watch Party at Highlands PAC
DESCRIPTION:When the clock strikes 9 pm on Mondays\, something stirs in the mist over the Highlands Plateau. Not the wind… not the owls… but the pulse of Halloween Baking Championship—the bewitching hour on Food Network. \nSince September 15\, when our own Oksana Shchelgachova\, the heart and hands behind Edelweiss Bakery Boutique\, first stepped into that eerie kitchen\, Highlands has held its breath. \nHer journey hasn’t been a straight path—it’s been a roller coaster of fire and frost\, of chocolate and chaos. \nBut Oksana never folds. She fights. She creates. She represents us—our mountains\, our community\, our spirit. \nOne for all\, and all for Oksana. \nEvery week she’s faced storms that would melt lesser souls… and yet\, she rises—stronger\, sweeter\, sharper. \nThe grand finale won’t come until October 27\, but every episode leading there is a story in itself: suspense\, artistry\, and a heart that won’t quit. \nNow it’s our turn to rise with her. Join the Highlands family for a Community Watch Party on Monday\, October 20\, at the Highlands Performing Arts Center\, 507 Chestnut Street\, Highlands\, \nDoors open at 8:15 PM\, and admission is free—but come early\, before the seats vanish like magic…and beware… those who arrive late may find themselves under a chocolate spell.
