LENOX, Mass. — The Lenox Library is hosting the 9th annual Gingerbread House Competition and Silent Auction on Dec. 11 Sunday, Dec. 8, from 1 to 3 p.m. The library is looking for participants for the family-friendly event that is for all ages, with prizes to be awarded in professional and non-professional categories.

 

Sponsored by the Lenox Chamber of Commerce, this year's theme is "Berkshire Gingerbread Houses," and will include edible entries by professional chefs, groups of all ages and individuals. A panel of judges will announce prizes in all three categories, and the public will award People's Choice prizes in all categories as well. All entries submitted will be sold by silent auction at the event, with proceeds to assist the library services that bring books, information and family programs to downtown Lenox.

 

Hilltown Families called this event, "a great opportunity for families to spend time together in free, creative play- working together as a team and practicing culinary, math and architectural skills." For further information about entering the competition, stop by the main desk of the library or contact the library at 413-637-2630 or info@lenoxlib.org.
