The Palisade Chamber of Commerce invites community members of all ages to take part in the annual Gingerbread Contest & Showcase, a sweet holiday tradition that highlights creativity and craftsmanship.

The Gingerbread Contest & Showcase is held in conjunction with Olde Fashioned Christmas on Dec. 6 in downtown Palisade. Participants are encouraged to build their best gingerbread houses or structures and display them for the public to enjoy during the event. Entries will be judged based on creativity, craftsmanship and overall presentation. Prizes will be awarded in several age categories.

“The Gingerbread Contest & Showcase has become a favorite part of our holiday celebration,” said Jessica Burford, president & CEO of the Palisade Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a fun, family-friendly way for everyone to express their imagination and be part of the community spirit that makes Palisade so special.”

Contest entry forms and guidelines are available at palisadechristmas.com.
