Thirteen one-of-a-kind Gingerbread Houses will be on display at downtown businesses through December 21. Presented by the Springfield Area Arts Council, in conjunction with the DSI Holiday Walks, these houses are part of a raffle to raise funds for Arts-in- Education and other programs of the Arts Council.

Lib Granzeau, former President of the Arts Council Board of Directors, along with Cindy Milner and Karen Richardson, designed and executed the thirteen houses which are made of completely edible ingredients. Raffle tickets are $5 each and may be purchased at the business location where the “house of choice” is on display or at the Hoogland Center for the Arts where tickets may be deposited for any of the houses. Winners will be announced on Thursday, December 22.

Gingerbread Houses are located at the following downtown businesses: Abe’s Old Hat Antiques, Andiamo!, Augie’s Front Burner, Café Brio, Flea Market to Fabulous, Golden Frog Café, Hoogland Center for the Arts, Maldaner’s, Moxie Massage, National Museum of Surveying, Petals & Accents, Recycled Records, Spice of Life.
