@lexyromano_: A holiday tradition with an Arizona twist! Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend the unveiling of the WORLD’S LARGEST Gingerbread Hogan at @TwinArrowsCasino, and WOW! The morning began with traditional music and remarks from members of the resort and Diné community before a countdown in the Navajo language led to the big reveal. And what a reveal it was! Standing approximately 10 feet tall and nearly 19 feet in diameter, this incredible creation took the team almost five months to make. Just a few of the numbers behind it: 10,000 pounds of flour, 3,000 pounds of sugar, 1,500 pounds of butter and 2,000 pounds of royal icing! The walls are made from gingerbread, Rice Krispies and graham crackers, with the most amazing details throughout. What makes this creation especially meaningful is that a hogan is much more than a traditional home. It holds deep cultural significance in Diné (Navajo) culture, architecture and ceremonial life. It was wonderful to see the resort celebrate the holiday season while also recognizing the traditions and heritage of the Navajo people. If you’re looking for a fun holiday outing, make a trip up to Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort and see it for yourself. The resort is beautifully decorated for the season, too! #TwinArrows #NavajoNation #ArizonaTravel #HolidayInArizona #GingerbreadHogan
