Library sponsors second Festival of Gingerbread Houses
YORK VILLAGE - What says "holiday" better than the wonderful aromas that come from the kitchen at this time of year - turkey, pumpkin pie and gingerbread?And what could be more fun than to build a gingerbread house to display at the York Public Library?
As part of the town's Festival of Lights celebration, the York Public Library will host its second annual Festival of Gingerbread Houses from Dec. 2 to 12. Anyone, any age, can participate - amateurs, professionals, adults, families or groups.
Participation in the festival has very few requirements. All types of architectural structures, historic or imaginary, are eligible. The finished piece must be attached to a 12 by 16-inch base, and all components except the base must be edible, including the "glue." Entry categories are amateur, professional, family with children 12 years old and up, family with children 11 years old and younger, adult/young adult organizations and children's organizations.
Registration forms are available at the library and must be returned by Nov. 21 as pre-registration is required.
The gingerbread entries must be delivered to the library on Nov. 30 between noon and 5 pm. The display opens to the public on Saturday, Dec. 2, from 1 to 4 pm, with presentation of awards at 1 p.m., and the display continues through Dec. 12.
