Calendar of Events
Details to be announced
It will soon be time to get ready for the Lampasas County Museum’s annual Christmas Tree and Gingerbread House contests. This year’s theme is
“A Gingerbread Jamboree.” As you decide on your decorations, you might think of the many forms gingerbread may take (houses, cookies, people, animals); a favorite story featuring gingerbread in some way; or a jamboree (a large and boisterous celebration). Any of these ideas, or something entirely different can be the focus of your tree or gingerbread house. Let your imagination guide you.
Enter your tree at the museum on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (November 30) between 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. or on Monday, December 2, between 4:00 and 6:00 P.M. All participants must provide their own artificial tree and no glitter may be used. Trees will be judged by the public on Saturday, December 7, during the Carol of Lights and will remain on view at the museum through December 14. Trees must be picked up on Saturday, December 14, between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. Gingerbread houses will be accepted at the museum on Thursday, December 5, between 4 and 6 P.M. Judges will select the winners in the following categories: children, ages 4 – 12; young adults, ages 13 – 17; and adult/family, 18 and above. The gingerbread houses will remain on display until December 14, and need to be picked up between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. on that date.
The Museum is at 303 South Western, between Second and Third Streets. Regular hours are Fridays and Saturdays, 10 am – 4 pm.
