HOLMDEL, NJ — Calling all gingerbread enthusiasts! The Monmouth County Park System is hosting a Star-Spangled Gingerbread Contest this holiday season.
Set to take place at Historic Longstreet Farm in Holmdel, the contest will be held in honor of the nation's 250th birthday.
Participants are asked to design, bake and decorate a patriotic-themed gingerbread creation. Gingerbread kits are permitted as a starter but should be transformed into a unique design.
Entries must be made entirely of edible materials (excluding the foundation). The contest is divided into the following categories:
The contest is free, but registration is required. Registration is accepted Nov. 9-23 and available by calling 732-946-3758.
Entries will be accepted at the Longstreet Farm Visitor Center from Nov. 30-Dec. 4.
Judging will take place on Dec. 5, and winners will be awarded ribbons and bragging rights. All entries will be on display in the Longstreet Farm Visitor Center from December 5-13.
