The team at eggersmann Houston again proudly co-sponsors the 15th Annual Gingerbread Build-Off.

Architecture Center of Houston
Saturday, December 14, 10am-5:30pm
Levy Park, 3801 Eastside St, Houston, TX 77098

Architecture Center Houston will host competing teams crafting 100% edible, architectural marvels from gingerbread, candy, cookies, and other sweets (leftovers will be composted)! Join more than 4,000 attendees who will watch as the structures take shape and root for their teams. There will also be a construction zone for the kids and lawn games. This wholesome, if a little fattening, entertainment is free and open to the public.
