The Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel has started it’s 3rd Annual Gingerbread Competition. The theme is the “Arizona Centennial.”

Train from Shearton Downtown Phoenix Gingerbread Competition

The train and the village will be back along with the decorated Christmas Tree.

This is a time to have fun with your gingerbread talents and artistic skills. If you’ve not made one, you’re missing out.

I’ve made many, from sleighs to houses. See what you can come up with and enter.
