Joanne posted yesterday that she was getting out her gingerbread house for Christmas and I told her I'd post a picture of the winning "house" from this year's Grove Park Inn National Gingerbread House Competition. It was the 26th year for the Asheville competition. There were 190 entries.
The winner is "Gearing Up for Christmas." Rules state that the creations must be 75% gingerbread and be completely edible. I've read that sometimes the judges use drills to get a peak inside to be sure the rules are followed.
The Grove Park Inn is worth a visit any day of the year, but right now it's all the better. Besides all that gingerbread, there are gorgeous trees and a fire in the big fireplace. In the huge lobby, people sip hot chocolate and the year's craft brew. Plus, there's all that history.
So worth a visit if you're in that area, say for Biltmore Christmas. Or Winter Lights at the Arboretum.
