    The Wood Memorial Library & Museum image
    I went with several friends to the annual Gingerbread Festival that they hold at Wood Library each year. It exceeded my expectations! There were easily 100 Gingerbread Houses of varying degrees of expertise scattered all throughout the building. Some were traditional gingerbread houses with candy accents, others were replicas of area landmarks. There was no theme to the houses so I saw everything from a candy baseball field, to a gingerbread car club, The Grinch overlooking Whoville and Santa stuck in a chimney. There was holiday music playing in the background and snowflakes and decorations all over the building. It really was enchanting. They also had a "shop" set up off to the side selling crafts and holiday gifts along with baked goods. It was a fun afternoon. Although the event was free we were happy to drop a few dollars in the donation jar on our way out. We will definitely be back. See more..
