The New Hamburg Gingerbread Festival theme has just been announced for 2008 in the New Hamburg Independent. The theme is:

"Christmas Movies"

Be sure to read the writeup in the New Hamburg Independent for details. If you have any questions, you can call the Gingerbread Hotline at 519-662-1082 ext. 61, or Kathryn Ritz at 662-2960.

Our family has entered the contest for the past 2 years and it's been a blast.

Update 2008/11/18: I'd like to encourage groups and organizations to enter as well as families and individuals. It's a great opportunity for school classes to get involved with the community (I know at least one class from Forest Glen Public School entered last year).

I also need to add a slight correction. The name of the contest is actually the "Wilmot Gingerbread House Contest 2008".

Update 2008/12/10: The NH Independent has a list of the winners and their blog has photos. Our entry for The Spark Centre got the winning nod in the VIP category. Yay!
