Gingerbread house workshops to be held at Cottage Events Venue The Cottage Events Ven- ue is offering several op- portunities for families to have creative holiday fun this season by decorating a handmade, pre-built gin- gerbread building together. Participants will have more 30 different candies and decorating items to choose from, ranging from candy canes to gummy butterflies to gingerbread fences and everything in between. The Venue’s owner, Kim Still, designed the three styles of buildings and bakes and assembles them in advance so they are ready for decorating when folks arrive. There is a classic cottage style, a country church and model of the Mosby Creek covered bridge. Each of the models has hard sugar “stained glass” windows and tiny LED lights inside. “Since we are in Cottage Cottage Theatre presents Grove, I especially wanted to include a covered bridge as an option,” said Still. “I went and took photos so I could get the shape just right. It took quite a bit of engineering to get it to go together properly. ” Workshops are sched- uled for Nov. 24, from 2 to 4 p.m.; Dec. 1, from 2 to 4 p.m.; Dec. 7, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Dec. 11, from 7 to 9 p.m.; Dec. 18, from 7 to 9 p.m.; and Dec. 22, from 2 to 4 p.m. Each building costs $30 and includes six choices of decorations.
