The library will host a Gingerbread Competition for all interested Custer County residents.  Entries may be dropped off from December 1st to 10th and will be separated into 3 divisions:  Ages 5-8, Ages 9-12, and Ages 13-adult.  Each division will have a $50 First Place, $25 Second Place, and $15 Third Place Amazon Gift Card.  (The contest will be judged by independent judges, not library staff.)

There will be an additional People’s Choice $50 Amazon gift card.  Library visitors can vote for the People’s Choice Award during Library Hours from December 11th to 14th.  An Open House will be held on December 15th from 3-6 p.m. for the public to see the contest winners and enjoy some holiday refreshments.  To view additional competition details and rules, click HERE.  For your convenience, here’s a Gingerbread Recipe and a Royal Icing Recipe if you decide to go the homemade route.

We can’t wait to see what you create!

You’re invited to a Christmas Open House at the Custer Library on December 15th from 3-6 p.m. to view the 2021 Gingerbread Contest winners and enjoy some holiday refreshments.  Children will also be able to make a Christmas ornament to take home.  For more details about the Gingerbread House Contest, click HERE.

Grab a cup of coffee and share a few words about a book you have read lately…or just listen to others and get ideas about what you want to read next.  Bring a notebook!
