Vote for Gingerbread House favorites

You don't have to come to the Civic Center to see the Gingerbread Houses in person to vote this year. We must warn you though...while a picture may say a thousand words, they can't completely capture the beauty of this year's gingerbread houses.

View pictures and vote for your favorite Gingerbread House Contest designs.

Tree Grove

Come visit the 8th annual Tree Grove on the Square, 5pm - 8pm from Tuesday, 12/1 - Thursday, 12/10! Local businesses, organizations and schools have the opportunity to decorate trees in the Square.
