The Festival of Gingerbread at the History Center is often one of the most anticipated events of the holiday season! Local gingerbread creatives submit their icing and gumdrop masterpieces to be judged in the Gingerbread contest, as well as to be seen by the public.
Each year, there are more than 100 gingerbread submissions, with prizes awarded in several competitive categories. Kids will love looking at the colorful and intricate gingerbread displays, which may inspire you to make your annual family gingerbread house a little more complex.
