Get inspired with amazing gingerbread houses and get the scoop on building them yourself at
Gingerbread Adventures at OMSI.
Gingerbread Adventures
You’re invited to get into the
holiday spirit by viewing some
amazing gingerbread houses
during Gingerbread Adventures
at the Oregon Museum of Science
and Industry.
Five local architecture firms
and bakeries have teamed up to
design and build gingerbread
sculptures focused on the theme
“Illusions.”
Gingerbread Adventures, spon-
sored by New Seasons, highlights
the innovation and food science
that goes into assembling elaborate
gingerbread sculptures. The cre-
ations showcase Portland’s diverse
cultural experience, innovative food
scene, and architectural expertise.
“Last year was so much fun and
everyone really enjoyed it – the
bakers, the architects, our guests
and even our staff! Gingerbread
Adventures is a great way to blend
food science with a beloved holi-
day tradition,” said Andrea Edge-
combe, OMSI events director.
“We are excited for this to become
an event families look forward to
year after year.”
Gingerbread Adventures is in-
cluded with general admission to
the museum and will be on view
in the OMSI Auditorium through
Jan. 1. For more information, visit

Oregon Parks and Recreation volunteers assist visitors on the Oregon Coast get a glimpse of migrat-
ing gray whales.
Gray Whales on the Move
Watching week
activities begin
Dec. 27
Gray whales are on the move
south again this winter, and the
Oregon Parks and Recreation De-
partment is celebrating the annual
event with Whale Watching Week,
Dec. 27-31. Visitors to the Oregon
coast will have the opportunity
to glimpse some of the estimat-
ed 20,000 gray whales traveling
south from Alaska to their final
destination off the coast of Baja,
Mexico.
Volunteers from the Whale
Watching Spoken Here program
will be stationed at 24 sites along
the Oregon coast during the event.
From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day,
they’ll offer whale watching tips
and facts about the animals. Each
year from December to mid-Janu-
ary, gray whales swim 6,000 miles
down the Pacific coast to reach
calving lagoons near the Baja pen-
insula.
Luke Parsons, an OPRD rang-
er with the Whale Watching Cen-
ter in Depoe Bay, says one of
the goals of the event is to create
awareness and compassion for
whales and other marine life.

whale watch sites can be found on
