- Give it the boot: The winner of the National Gingerbread Competition at the Grove Park Inn.
There’s still time to catch the National Gingerbread House Competition and display at the Grove Park Inn. The competition, in its 19th year, includes entries from across the U.S.
The display is open to the public through Jan. 1, 2012 at no charge, Sundays through Thursdays only.
“Stories of Gingerbread” guided tours (hourlong, behind-the-scenes views of gingerbread house-construction techniques), are also available Wednesdays through Sundays at 9 a.m. and at 3 p.m. (weekends are given over to hotel guests.) The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for children ages 12 and under. Advance reservations are required and can be made by calling 800-438-5800.
