A family from Scott Township was selected as the winners for Chartiers Valley Patch’s ‘Nutcracker Tradition’ contest.

Eric Barr posted a photo of his son, Jared, with a large nutcracker at the Sweet Shoppe & Nut House in Collier Towns Square.

Jared and his mother, Marion, will go to see a performance of ‘The Nutcracker” at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre later this month.

The Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's production features more than 210 costumes, 190 performers—including more than 150 students ages 7 and older—and turn-of-the-century Pittsburgh-themed set design.

We also had a great photo submitted by Colleen Mutschler with Connor “saluting his favorite nutcracker” at the same Collier Township candy store.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest!
