GINGERBREAD CREATIONS WOW TAUNY VISITORS
“Amazing and beautiful.” “Fun and exciting.” “Exactly where I would want to live if I were a gingerbread man!”These comments from the judges of TAUNY’s 2009 Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Contest are just a sprinkling of the enthusiastic responses heard from judges and visitors alike about the entries in this year’s contest and display. “It’s a great year for gingerbread,” said TAUNY Executive Director Jill Breit. “There are some wonderfully creative and beautifully executed pieces. People won’t want to miss the display this year.”
