GINGERBREAD HOUSE BUILDING COMPETITION:

Gabe, Toni & Pete built an AWESOME gingerbread house. It was called the Animal House and it was a farm complete with barnyard animals, fields of veggies and fruits in rows, and a monkey on the door. Great job!!! This one tied for first place! Todd, Dave and Tracy put together an imaculate presentation - the attention to detail was superb. A better quality gingerbread home could not exist! Great work on tying for first place!
Second place was taken by Alex, Alan, & Robbie: they got creative and built a gingerbread with a deck and put extensive work into the river and bridge exterior. If they would have had a bit more time, they would have 'prettified' up the entire house!Brad, Jessica, Amber & Eric used a slightly larger gingerbread house kit for theirs, which meant that the judge (me) had to expect bigger and better things from their entry. They did a great job and tied for third place due to the incredible amounts of candy that they got to stick to the house!
Pat, Paul and Tom tied for third - They presented us with "the bunny ranch" which was reminiscent of easter. Very cute- except that their foundation cracked and the house started to slide in two directions before judging!!! oops!
