Grove Park Inn
It was raining that day, so no outside pictures, but this is a small model of the hotel.
 
Below is the Grand Prize winner of the Adult competition. There are mirrors and it is rotating.

Below are pictures of several gingerbread sculptures. These are the ones that were my favorites.
Now remember, all the items used in making the sculptures are EDIBLE.
