2015 Gingerbread Competition

The Red Balloon proudly presents: Scenes from the 2015 Gingerbread House Competition. The annual event takes place at the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) space. Always a jolly time in which one gingerbread house is crowned winner and the others have to somehow find a way to obtain an adjustable rate mortgage (only kidding or am I?) Okay here's a look at some of the designs.

Rethinking Scale: Tiny House, Big City:

City Hall: Naughty or Nice?:

Bye Buddy, Good Luck (photo flashback from the 2014 Competition):

And yes, that is Narwhal featured above : )

Sights and Sounds in the City: Holiday Edition

Sights and Sounds: get your eyes and ears prepared for the latest edition of what has become a favorite.

BSA Space Gingerbread Exhibition:

This annual competition is quite fierce. Located on Congress Street the BSA space provides ample room to display the Gingerbread works of art. A photo from last year which I call, "Edible Eastie" ~

Let's that forget that the upcoming ice sculptures will soon be featured as part of First Night. If you find yourself in Boston be sure to check them out.

It wouldn't be the Holiday Edition without a photo of good ol' Saint Nick himself. In this photo we don't know if he'll ever get to town...considering he's riding the MBTA!

Last but not least....

Let's not forget this photo from winter in the city last year:

Just in case your forgot what Winter looks like here in Beantown: that image should be enough to open the floodgate of memories : )
