The Vermont Folklife Center Announces Gingerbread competition WinnersMonday December 25, 2006
The Vermont Folklife Center today announced the winners of the eighth annual Gingerbread House competition at its Court Street location in Middlebury. Among the 44 entries were many variations on the traditional theme of both Gingerbread and house. The rules of the competition dictate that all elements of the structures must be edible, except the 12” by 16” base. From this basic reference the only limitation is one’s imagination. This year’s interpretations included log cabins made from large pretzels, skyscrapers made of cookies, chocolate cars and gingerbread trucks, sugar cube pyramids and frosting-laden aliens. Some of the structures depicted actual buildings, including a local historic church, while others were totally imaginary and included a spacecraft, a string of pyramids, a dollhouse, a factory and a tent. The Folklife Center wishes to thank the sponsors of this year’s event; Celebration Rentals (Brandon), The Inn at Baldwin Creek (Bristol), National Bank of Middlebury, Danforth Pewterers (Middlebury), Vermont Book Shop (Middlebury), Two Brothers Tavern (Middlebury), and The Alpine Shop (Middlebury).
