Show off that holiday spirit by participating in the annual Gingerbread House Contest. No time to build a house? That’s okay, the Gingerbread Village will be open for the viewing enjoyment of residents and visitors this holiday season.
The Gingerbread Village at the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association Art Center will be open at noon, November 29, through noon, December 15. The Art Center hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. While there, don’t forget to vote for the coveted People’s Choice award. Voting closes December 15.
Entry categories are divided into businesses and individuals. The individuals category is further broken into adult, high school, middle school and elementary school.
