Calling all bakers!  It’s time to plan construction for that beloved holiday tradition, the 13th Annual Gingerbread Celebration & Holiday Mart, presented by the Adams County Arts Council. Kennie’s Market and the Gettysburg Chocolate Market are major sponsors for the event to be held at the Arts Education Center, December 2-3, in conjunction with the annual Gettysburg Christmas Festival.

The contest is open to families, individuals, young bakers, schools, groups, and nonprofits. The public votes with dollars for these amazing creations. Houses with the most dollars win cash prizes totaling $1,600, courtesy of generous donors. Businesses and restaurants are also encouraged to make a gingerbread house and compete for the coveted Ginger Trophy

Entry forms and more information are available online at www.adamsarts.org, by calling (717) 334-5006, or at the Arts Education Center, 125 S. Washington St. Gettysburg. The deadline for entry forms is November 23.

The mission of the Adams County Arts Council is to cultivate an arts-rich community.
