Gingerbread artist and current World Record Holder Roger Pelcher and his team of gingerbread experts will log 1,700 hours between now and November 24 to create a 60-foot gingerbread wonder. Encompassing 1,496 square feet, the house will consist of 14,250 pounds of gingerbread and 4,750 pounds of icing. KKE Architects and PCL Construction Services, Inc. are serving as major sponsors of the construction, donating time and resources to the completion of the house.
The gigantic gingerbread house will be unveiled on November 24, welcoming guests to walk through and experience a magical gingerbread factory complete with animated elves. Visitors are invited to provide donations with proceeds benefiting Saint Therese Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides housing and health care to seniors. Tours will be available from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.* daily through the holiday season.
