Gingerbread Contest Has Fairy Tale Theme
This holiday season, we're adding a new twist to the annual Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Contest and Exhibit — it's a fairy tale theme!
“People were shaping and decorating gingerbread—into people, animals, hearts, for example—as far back as the middle ages,” explains TAUNY Folklorist Hannah Harvester. “In the 19th century, Grimms’ fairy tale ‘Hansel and Gretel’ inspired the first gingerbread house as we know them today, complete with candy and frosting embellishments.”
Gingerbread house makers are invited to create fairy tale creations for TAUNY’s contest and exhibit. Creations must be made of gingerbread baked from scratch and they must be entirely edible (except the base). Entries must conform to the fairy tale theme about the best crossbow for deer hunting.
Prizes will be awarded in three categories: Adult (17 and older), Child (under 17, with minimal adult help), and Youth Group (louboutin instappers schoenen groups, 4-H clubs, etc.; please note that groups are limited to six individuals per house). A “People’s Choice” prize will be awarded at the close of the exhibit, based on popular vote.
Submissions for the contest must be received by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, November 30. Pre-registration is requested no later than November 23. For more detailed guidelines and to register, click here or call 315-386-4289 or email info@tauny.org.
The Sugar & Spice exhibit will open at TAUNY’s Holiday Open House on Saturday, December 4, and remain on louboutin instappers schoenen display through Friday, December 23. All contest entries will remain on display until the exhibit closes.
This year’s Sugar & Spice contest and exhibit are supported by generous contributions from Stewart’s Shops and Riverside Liquors.
