Virtual Christmas Cookie and Gingerbread House Contest

Just because we can’t gather in person, doesn’t mean that Christmas fun isn’t coming to Vernonia. Join Hands on Art for our virtual cookie-baking and gingerbread house competitions!

This year it all about creativity. Think about competing for loads of fun and a bunch of cash prizes.

There is no cost to enter. Bake at home, photograph your creations, and email your photos to Hands on Art for anonymous judging!

Winning cookies and gingerbread houses will be shared in Vernonia’s Voice, and on the Hands on Art website and Facebook page. Prizes will be mailed to the winning bakers.

Open to Vernonia, Oregon residents.
