Gingerbread 2nd place

‘Tis the season for gingerbread creations! Chaffee Art Center in Rutland held a gingerbread contest on Dec. 12. Creators of Chaffee Art Center’s winning house, titled “Good Tidings Farm,” Jill Talbot, Brandy Ellison, Alexandria Perone and Phoebe Forman said, “[Our] display embodies the spirit of giving exemplified by the seasonal bounties of the farm.  Our local farms are vital to our community and we benefit from the effort of farmers.  Their work sustains our bodies, our community and the landscape we hold so dear.  Our barn is surrounded by the four seasons of giving…winter, spring, summer and fall.

Below, a much larger gingerbread house was erected inside the Woodstock Inn & Resort.
