Gingerbread Competition Judging Opened to Campus Community

DAVISON HALL — The annual gingerbread house competition here drew one hundred entries of cars, homes, castles, boats, lighthouses -- presenting a challenge for experienced gingerbread construction judges.

So instead, Dining Services is inviting the campus community -- students, faculty, and staff -- to pick up a ballot from the Davison Hall office and play the role of judge, the Davison Hall promotions coordinator, Tairi M. Gaouette, said Wednesday evening.

Judging extends through the Christmas Feast, scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 10, Ms. Gaouette said. Winners will be announced on Friday, Dec. 11, she said.
