The Summit County library will host a gingerbread house contest in December at the Main Library in Frisco. Bring in your gingerbread creations of all shapes and sizes, real or imaginary structures, starting through Friday, Dec. 13. This is a peopleâs choice contest, so everybody has a chance to vote for the favorite. The only rule is that everything visible must be edible. The top three favorites will win a prize to be awarded Friday, Dec. 20. Visit www.summitcountylibraries.org for more information.
