Gingerbread Building Contest - THE RESULTS
We’re pretty sure this contest was the highlight of our 2020. Six Warehouse District businesses competed in what we hope was our first annual Gingerbread “House” Building Contest. Here’s how it went:
Contestants were given two basic gingerbread kits each (one “house” and one “village”).
They could assemble the kits however they liked, but had to include at least two edible elements sourced from businesses located in the Warehouse District.
A few days were permitted for construction, photos and videos were submitted of each finished project, and voting took place on Instagram and Facebook.
