–This holiday season the City of Atascadero Recreation Division aimed to challenge families in our community to show off their creativity while staying safe at home. The contest was announced on the recreation department’s Facebook and Instagram pages for anyone to enter their gingerbread house creation by emailing a picture to recreation no later than Sunday, Dec. 27.

Out of fourteen entries, they have announced the following winners:

• Youth Category Winner: Lyra Stoltz
• Adult Category Winner: Sabrina Baker
• Most Creative: Miles Anker

The winning gingerbread houses showed a great level of detail, use of color, creativity, edibility, and neatness based on the age categories for both youth and adults. The winners of the contest were contacted on Monday via email and will receive local gift cards.

To view all of the gingerbread houses that were submitted, go to www.facebook.com/atascaderocs or @atascaderorecreation on Instagram.
