Library Events for Adults




Gingerbread Village [ https://sunnyvale.libcal.com/event/12926396 ]
IN-PERSON: Sunnyvale Gingerbread Village Submission

Saturday, Dec. 7, Noon to 5:30 p.m.

The Sunnyvale Gingerbread Village is coming back for our fourth year! The village will be on display in the Library's lobby from Sunday, Dec. 8th until early January 2025. 

 

*How to participate: *


* Please sign up by contacting Winnie Lam (Sunnyvale Arts Commissioner) at winnielam@gmail.com
* Make and decorate your own family-friendly gingerbread house. This year's themes are Whoville, Grinch, and tropical holidays. These themes are simply suggestions. You're welcome to make something however you would like. 
* Bring your gingerbread creation to the Library Program Room on Saturday, Dec. 7 between 12 and 5:30 p.m. If this time does not work for you, please email Winnie to arrnage an alternative drop-off. 
* The maximum size of each gingerbread submission is 12 inches long x 12 inches wide x 17 inches tall. 
* There's a maximum of one gingerbread creation per household. 
* Your gingerbread creation won't be returned. 

 

*Building suggestions: *


* You may use a store bought gingerbread house kit (available at local stores or online) or make your own. 
* Use a hot glue gun. It's stronger than icing and will better keep your house together during the month-long display period.
