The Votes Are In: Check Out the Best Gingerbread House in Rochester

The community voted, and the winning school(s) receive their very own slip-and-slide day at the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm.

University Hills and Hugger elementary schools created the best gingerbread houses in Rochester, according to a contest held over winter break at the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm.

The two gingerbread houses tied for first place, according to a tally of the 1,000 ballots cast. 

Students, parents and teachers from nine Rochester elementary schools created the gingerbread houses on display over the holidays at the museum. Visitors to the museum are asked to vote for their favorite; the elementary school whose gingerbread house received the most votes was to win a slip-and-slide afternoon at the museum next summer for their entire school.
