Create a Gingerbread House and Win!

Now is the time for holiday bakers to think about the creation of a magical Gingerbread House to enter into the 6th annual Gingerbread House Competition at the Country Christmas Faire, held November 28 – 30 at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.

Houses, bungalows, cottages, and castles fashioned from spicy gingerbread will be displayed for holiday shoppers to enjoy at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley during the Thanksgiving weekend festivities.

Competitors may enter any of ten categories including kids, adults, families, groups and businesses. Prizes and ribbons abound for adults and kids. First through third place winners will receive award money with the Best of Show winning $100. A special festive gift basket from Tess’ Kitchen Store will also be awarded to the Best of Show winner.

Entry forms must be received at the Fairgrounds by Friday, November 21; the actual gingerbread house entry must be delivered to the Fairgrounds on Tuesday, November 25. All Gingerbread House exhibitors will receive two free passes to the Country Christmas Faire.

Entry forms can be picked up at the Fairgrounds office on McCourtney Road, or downloaded from the Fair’s website at http://www.nevadacountyfair.com/.

The Country Christmas Faire begins Friday, November 28, and runs through Sunday, November 30. The hours are 10 am – 5 pm on Friday and Saturday; and 10 am – 3 pm on Sunday. Admissions is $4 for adults, and children 12 and under are free. Parking is also free.
