St. Mary’s Episcopal Church is sponsoring a Gingerbread House Competition, which will be judged on Saturday, December 4th, 2021 at 1:00 PM. Prizes will be awarded by age group or by family.

Participants supply the gingerbread house and decorate it either at home or at St. Mary’s. A kit CAN be used in the competition!

20 free kits will be available for those needing them. Call (802) 989-3213 to reserve a kit. Pick-up of the free kits will be on November 20th, 2021 between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

Group-housemaking at St. Mary’s Church will also be on November 20th, 2021. 5 groups of families/friends will be scheduled every hour at 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 1:00 PM. Please reserve your spot for this by calling (802) 989-3213.

For those making their gingerbread houses at home, the drop-off times for the competition are December 1st, 2nd, & 3rd, 2021, between 2:30-5:30 PM, or by other arrangements.

Each gingerbread house requires a submission form—click here for the link to the form on St. Mary’s Episcopal Church’s website.

All gingerbread houses should be placed on a stable surface with a lip (like a cookie sheet), so that your hard work will be protected.

All activities will take place at the Parish Hall of St. Mary’s Church, located at 220 Lake Avenue in Lake Luzerne, NY.

Also, be sure to submit a guess for how many Christmas candies are in the jar in the church hall! Closest guess to the actual number will win the WHOLE JAR!
