Give me four walls, a roof and lots of yummy stuff to eat, please

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, December 14, 2014

Q: What has four walls, a roof and lots of yummy stuff to eat?

A: It should be obvious, but's here's a hint: Lots of these structures were built recently at the Ada Public Library. They are called gingerbread houses.

They come in a wide range of styles and accomodations. The library allowed us to link up to the Facebook photo gallery. 

For an enjoyable time, click here and check out this year's brand of Ada gingerbread houses. (There's 32 photos.)
