Can you make the greatest gingerbread house of all time?
Bring your
constructed house, decorating materials and your game face to the Zoom meeting
on December 16th at 6:30 PM to see who will be crowned Gingerbread
Champion of our newest virtual family event. This could be a friendly annual
competition and participation will determine it.
Gingerbread houses
should have all basic construction done ahead of time, be freestanding, and the
majority of materials must be edible. Other than these few restrictions,
anything goes, so get creative!
All contestants
will have 25 mins to decorate and/or add on structural pieces to their
gingerbread house to make it as festive and amazing. Librarians will judge each
gingerbread house on Creativity, Quality of Construction, and Edibility (what
percentage of materials used are edible).
All participants
will be able to pick up a personalized certificate a day or two after the
event, but only one participant will win the grand prize ($15 gift certificate
to Beantowne). Put your heads together
as a family to begin your practice sessions now and don’t delay registration
for this classic event.

About the
Presenter: Photography has been Eva's hobby and passion for many years. Her
current focus of work is seascapes, landscapes, and nature abstracts using both
film and digital cameras.
Her photographic
journey began when she was a teenager and bought her first camera, a 35mm
Minolta range finder. Much of her initial work was cityscapes near where she
grew up near NYC and NJ. Having grown up in the urban landscape, she longed to
spend more time in less crowded, natural spaces and thus, developed a love for
the outdoors, hiking and photographing.
