“Let it Snow” Themed Gingerbread House Contest
The Jefferson Arts Committee has scheduled its 16th annual Gingerbread House Contest as part of its upcoming Christmas in the Village event. The contest and display will be held in the Milton United Methodist Church’s Headley Hall located at 316 Dover-Milton Road in Milton/Oak Ridge. A PRE-REGISTRATION ENTRY FORM IS REQUIRED accompanied by a $6 entry fee with checks made payable to the Jefferson Arts Committee. ENTRIES MUST BE POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN WEDNESAY, NOVEMBER 30.
Age divisions for participation are 4 to 5, 6 to 8, 9 to 12, 13 to 16 years of age, and 17 through adult. The rules are simple – create your own homemade gingerbread house or construct one from a purchased kit embracing the theme Let It Snow. Choose any type of structure with landscaping not to exceed 12” wide x 12” high x 12” long, and all materials (except for a cardboard/wood/plastic base) must be edible!
