The homes will be on display until January 3, 2008. The Hotel Viking has chosen to forgo the practice of cutting down a 35 ft. tree for their annual tree lighting service and opted for a sweeter option with less impact to the environment.
The three categories include:
1. Authentic Reproduction of a Rhode Island Historic Mansion, Home or Venue
2. Amateur Gingerbread Creation -- Create a gingerbread masterpiece, all designs welcome.
3. Kids Only! Gingerbread Creation -- Children must be 12 and under to enter.
A panel of celebrity judges will select the winning gingerbread houses at 4:00 pm December 1, 2007 at a special tea ceremony at One Bellevue in the Hotel Viking. The winning creations will be chosen based on their creativity, and decoration. All entries will be displayed at the Hotel Viking until January 3, 2008, with signs crediting entrants. The winning 'homemakers' in each category will receive a 2-night stay the Hotel Viking.
