If you haven’t seen them yet, you’ll have to look at the winning gingerbread houses displayed at Island Market. They are downright incredible.
The Funhouse had a competition for all ages on Orcas Island, and the results are stunning – you’d think the winners are from a national competition. It just shows all the creativity going on behind closed doors during these COVID times.
I’ll let the level of food artistry speak for itself…
