LOGAN – The holiday season is approaching, and the Logan Downtown Alliance is inviting residents and visitors to get creative with frosting, candy and gingerbread for the 27th annual Parade of Gingerbread Homes Contest.
The gingerbread creations will be displayed in downtown businesses.
The annual event encourages individuals, families, businesses and professional designers to create their own gingerbread houses and enter them in the downtown holiday tradition.
Whether it’s a family activity or an opportunity for experienced designers to showcase their creativity, building a gingerbread home offers a fun way to celebrate the Christmas season.
Registration is open, but entries must be submitted by Nov. 10. Registration forms are available online at www.logandowntown.org/parade-of-gingerbread-homes.html.
“This event has grown into a much-loved local tradition, not only for the architects who design gingerbread creations but for everyone who participates by voting on their favorite edible wonderland,” said a representative of the Logan Downtown Alliance.
This year, participants will have the opportunity to compete for one of six $100 grand prizes. Awards will be presented in two categories: Community and Professional.
The Parade of Gingerbread Homes gives participants a chance to share their holiday creations with the community while allowing visitors to enjoy the imaginative edible displays and vote for their favorites.
