Grove Park Inn - the Gingerbread Competition.... They have categories for Children, Youths, Teens and Adults
| 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. |

| Above - It had been a few days since the judging and this one was kind of falling apart. But #baseball!. The Cubs won the world series, and this was great! | You can see items INSIDE this house... so cute. | |
