What better way to boost one’s holiday spirit than to enjoy dozens of imaginative Gingerbread Houses? Every holiday season, there are many Gingerbread House Competitions throughout the country, but the one held at The Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC claims to be the largest. It has been a annual Grove Park Inn tradition now for 24 years. After a terrific Thanksgiving feast and about 8 hours of driving, these were my favorites of the 150 I saw on display:
Keep in mind – the rules say – it all has to be edible…
Not sure what this is about but you have to love the expression on that baby’s face!
Crazy amounts of detail…
Loved these trumpeters especially…
Now you may be asking – who won this competition?
3rd Place
2nd Place
1st Place
As I said, these were my favorites, though I applaud them all for the hours of planning, work and dedication to finish their wonderful creations.
Thanks for reading!
