The baking of gingerbread houses has long been a Christmas tradition, and some are truly architectural wonders - here's a little Gingerbread trivia for you.  The 19th century publishing of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel" brought the tradition to popularity and early German settlers brought the tradition of "lebkuchenhaeusie" to the Americas.  The largest gingerbread house was constructed at the Mall of America and measured 67 feet tall and was 1,496 square feet of pure confection.  

So what does this have to do with the Gettysburg Festival you may say.  Well, for the last two years we have had the privilege of hosting a community event that features, what else, the Gingerbread House.  Gingerbread House builders are needed.  Get your family together and create a special memory.   Click here for more information and to sign up to contribute a Gingerbread House.
