Staying at Hopkins over Thanksgiving and don't know what to do?
Why don't you get together with a group of friends and build a gingerbread house?
Sponsored by the Student Traditions Board and The Hopkins Club, Hopkins is hosting its second annual Gingerbread House Competition as part of this year's ‘Lighting of the Quad' ceremony, and everyone affiliated with Hopkins is invited to participate.
Simply design and decorate a gingerbread house by yourself or with a group of friends.
The group with the winning entry will win a dinner for ten people at The Hopkins Club.
The Hopkins Club is located on the grounds of Homewood Campus, and they feature foods such as smoked fish, Maryland crab soup, and pan roasted veal tenderloin.
Second and third place winners will also recieve prizes, which are unannounced as of yet.
All winning entries will be displayed in The Hopkins Club for the duration of the holiday season.
Registration is online at tinyurl.com/8yjrpks, and all structures are due on November 30 — the night of the lighting of the quads.
More information will be provided via email after contestants register.
While making a gingerbread house from scratch is not a simple task and may require several sessions to make the dough, bake the pieces and assemble the house, Thanksgiving Break is the perfect time to get started.
So if you aren't sure what you can do after the Thanksgiving food has been put away and the sleep caught up on, perhaps you might want to consider baking and frosting for the competition.
