An entire village made of gingerbread, candy and the imaginations of culinary arts students will be on display until December 15 in the lobby of the VisTaTech Center during regular business hours.

Culinary arts students created the fanciful houses, churches, diners and banks in a competition for scholarships, and they did it all on their own time, under the direction of Certified Master Pastry Chef Joseph Decker.

The public can bring their family and friends to enjoy the students' creations. They also can buy a raffle ticket to win the building judged the best, or participate in a silent auction for the other gingerbread structures.
