8 weeks of free summer classes for children in Historic Greenport Village
Hello from Santa’s Christmas Tree Farm,
We are here with our fabulous gingerbread houses waiting for you and Santa to come and visit us. The Grinch stopped in yesterday, grouchy as ever. But believe it or not, he smiled when he checked out the adorable little houses, stared in awe as he gazed at the professional masterpieces, and then mumbled he was going home to make one of his own gingerbread abodes as a centerpiece for Whoville’s Christmas feast! A gingerbread house seems to have that effect on everyone because they can be as exotic or simple as you like --- that is until time, talent or the candy source dries up.
Enjoy the photos of this year’s winners and entries. To bid or raise your bid on any of them call 516 459-9141 or 516 384-7782. Tell us the name or number attached to the specific house you are interested in and we’ll give you the up-to-date amount on the bid sheets. We update the bids daily on our Facebook Page so check there too!
We’ve been asked about the judging criteria. Marla Milne (artist), Eileen Santora (residential designer), and Chef Noah Schwartz took their responsibilities very seriously. Their insights, opinions, and comments were very much appreciated. Each judge had their own score sheet. On a scale of 1 – 10 they rated all houses in the Professional and Amateur categories on Overall Appearance, Creativity & Originality, and Precision. Each judge totaled their scores and then compared them with the others. The First, Second, and Third places in each category were determined by the sum of all three judge’s scoring.
Bidding will remain open until Saturday, December 12 at 4:00pm. At that time, the highest bidder will be notified of their new gingerbread art piece and they are invited to pick it up no later than 7 pm 12/12. By 8pm the houses should be nestled safe in their new homes bring joy and smiles to all who see them. We hope it will be your home!
Gingerly yours,
The PDLEP Gingerbread Committee
P.S. Saturday, December 12 is National Gingerbread Day!!!!
