The People’s Choice award of $50—votes cast by visitors to the Gingerbread House exhibit—went to Robert Goshe, first prize winner in the Master category.
Committee co-chair Pat Martin said the contest could not have been such a success without the support of a number of organizations and individuals in the community.
“We received invaluable help from Poore House printing, St. Michaels Candy and Gifts, St. Michaels Fire Department, Town & Country Wine and Liquor, Bed Bath and Beyond, and volunteer Rosie Schwier.
In addition, Walmart in Easton donated kits that were given to the St. Michaels Community Center’s after school gingerbread house project.”
Co-chair Barbara Rose added: “Of course we also want to thank the many children and adults who took the time to make gingerbread house entries, which make our annual Gingerbread House Competition possible.”
All proceeds from the Gingerbread House Competition and other Christmas in St. Michaels events go to local non-profit organizations in the Bay Hundred area.
