The results are in!
It was another delicious display of creativity at this year's Gingerbread House Contest at Golden Library. A whopping 62 sugar-and-spice constructions competed in four categories:
- Kids (ages 0 - 9)
- Tweens and Teens (ages 10 - 18)
- Adult (19+)
- Group/Team (all ages)
Golden Library patrons voted in person to determine four finalists for each category. A second round of online voting determined the winners, which were announced at a special awards ceremony on Dec. 22.
