Gingerbread House Decorating Contest to be held December 4

Saturday, December 4, Kitchen Krafts will hold its 9th Annual Gingerbread House Decorating Contest, open to all children in the area, ages 7-11, at the West Elementary gym in Waukon.
Each participant will be supplied with all they’ll need: an assembled gingerbread house, icing, and candies for decorating. They will be given 45 minutes to decorate their house and then the houses will be judged and prizes awarded.
Doors open at 8:15 a.m. The decorating will begin at 8:30 a.m. At 9 a.m., the doors are open for the public, and at 9:15 a.m., winners will be announced and prizes will be awarded. Participants will be divided into two age categories (youth and adolescent). Each age category will have two winners: Best Decorated and Most Creative. Once the event is over, each child will be invited to take his/her decorated gingerbread house home.

There is limited seating for this workshop, therefore, pre-registration is required. A minimal fee per child is due upon registration. Registration forms are available at Farmers and Merchants Savings Bank, the Allamakee Economic Development Office and the Allamakee Extension Office in Waukon, or call Kitchen Krafts at 563-535-8000, ext. 113 to pre-register.
