Gingerbread house

Don't eat those gumdrops and candy canes. Instead, use them to show off your creativity for the holidays with Downtown Downers Grove's First Gingerbread House Contest.

Entries are welcome in two divisions, Family/Individual and Business. Winners in each division will be chosen by viewers choice during "It's A Wonderful Weekend." Entry forms are due by 3 p.m. Thursday, November 19, and Gingerbread Houses need to be delivered on by 3 p.m. Friday, November, 27, 2009.

Gingerbread houses will be on display throughout downtown Downers Grove from Friday, November 27 to November 29.
