Thorsby Christmas Spirit Gingerbread Contest
December 5th
Our annual community gingerbread contest is back, and we're ready for maximum chaos. Did your "house" collapse into a sugar-pocalypse? Did you accidentally build a gingerbread shed? All are valid paths to greatness! The only rule is there are no rules (except maybe don't use real concrete).
Location - Bilar’s Garage
Drop off your gingerbread creation at Bilar’s Garage from December 1st to 4th. Judging will be December 6th.
