Langford-based Habitat for Humanity will benefit once again from the creations of some of the top bakers in Greater Victoria and beyond, as The Inn at Laurel Point hosts CanadaB次元官网网址檚 National Gingerbread Showcase.

The theme for 2014 is Where Things Live, and bakers are invited to dream up visions of what a snowmanB次元官网网址檚 home would look like, the inside of an elfB次元官网网址檚 abode, or even the pasture for SantaB次元官网网址檚 reindeer.

B次元官网网址淭his year, weB次元官网网址檙e adding a new level of fun to the mix by asking participants to dream up their best interpretations of Where Things Live, tying in to the work undertaken by charity partner, Habitat for Humanity Victoria,B次元官网网址� says Ian Powell, managing director of Inn at Laurel Point.

B次元官网网址淲hether our bakers love dreaming of nights around the fire in a cozy house found in a Norman Rockwell painting, or thinking about how much fun the elves have on their one day off in their own dwellings, we know our participants will bring this yearB次元官网网址檚 theme to life.B次元官网网址�

With more than 25 entries in 2013, stiff competition is expected for the event, which kicks off in front of a panel of judges on Nov. 18.

The showcase opens to the public on Nov. 22 and will run until Jan. 4, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
