Home, sweet home

Forget boards and nails, when it comes to building houses, marshmallow paste and licorice is the way to go. For a few dozen families last week, making gingerbread houses was the sweetest thing on this year's holiday list. Featuring a multitude of candy and other sugary de?cor and building supplies, the annual Fuzziwig’s gingerbread house decorating event took place at the D&SNGRR grange on Wednesday. The digs provided plenty of space for construction crews to concoct marshmallow mansions, sugar shacks and decadent domiciles. The event was so good, in fact, that Santa himself had to stop by and check out the action. If only we could all live in houses so sweet.
