Gingerbread House Contest and Exhibition

The Ware Shoals Community Library, in conjunction with Ware Shoals Historical and Tourism committee, will host the 2nd annual gingerbread house contest and exhibit. Trophies will be awarded in Adult/Family Group, Teen (ages 12-17) and Children's Group (ages 0-11) for Most Traditional, Most Creative, Most Decorated, Honorable Mention and Overall.

Gingerbread houses can range from something simple to as creative and fancy as you can dream. Everything above the base must be composed completely of edible materials. From the very young to the very young at heart, we want the reaction to the magical experience to be the same when people come to view the gingerbread houses. It is all about adding tradition, interaction, and fun.

The Gingerbread Houses must be delivered to the Ware Shoals Community Library no later than 4 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 29. The judging of the exhibits will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 6 p.m., with awards following.

The Gingerbread House Exhibit can be viewed anytime during regular hours Nov. 28 through Dec. 2. Anyone wishing to sign up for exhibition should call Ware Shoals Community Library at (864) 456-2813 or you may register online.

You may have until Noon on Nov. 29 to sign up for the event. The gingerbread house contest and exhibit is free and open to bakers of all abilities and ages.
