One restaurant owner has an impressive and growing nutcracker collection!
Joanne Gerace of Tiny's Grill in Utica received the Nutcracker Stein from the FX Matt Brewery today.
That will push her collection to 371 nutcrackers to be exact.
The Nutcracker Stein is the newest of the Utica Club Stein and Joanne says she's grateful to add it to her display.
"I was always a toy soldier nut cracker collector but because there are so many non-traditional ones out there now, you will see anything from a frog to a Wizard of Oz collection. So, a stein nutcracker fits right it. It makes the collection complete," said Gerace.
Joanne has been collecting all types of nutcrackers for over twenty years.
She says all are welcome to visit and view her collection in Utica. It will be up for display through the month of January.
