Christmas at Old Fort Concho's 18th annual gingerbread house contest will feature two categories: general, for any holiday design; and special for any type of "house," be it a firehouse, doghouse, schoolhouse, etc., said a press release Tuesday.
A decorated cookie contest will also be featured at Christmas at Old Fort Concho.
Entry forms for both contests must be received by December 1 at 630 South Oakes Street. Entries will be received at the Port Hospital on December 3 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Judging will begin that day at 2:30 p.m. and all entries will be displayed throughout Christmas at Old Fort Concho, which will run December 4 through 6.
