Guests visiting The Block Northway this holiday season will be treated to a sweet display.

More than 80 gingerbread houses have been created by individuals, families, students, Girl Scout troops and various organizations. The exhibit will be in the south corridor lower level between DSW and Lands’ End through Jan. 5, free to the public and available for viewing from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.

“We invite guests to visit The Block Northway where they can return to community and winter holiday traditions,” director of experience Jamie Pavlot said. “Come experience this gingerbread fairytale display, custom created and inspired by participants who are excited to celebrate the magic of the season.”

Part of the fun is seeing the various ways that candy is used to decorate the houses: gum drops, pin wheel candies, jellybeans, gummies, candy canes, M&M’s, Necco wafers, Christmas quins, mini beads and, of course, frosting.

To add to the festivities throughout the holidays, seasonal concerts are scheduled throughout December on the upper level.

On the lower level will be canvas painting templates for kids, free to the first 50, by Paint Monkey at 1 p.m. Dec. 8 and another free craft by Every Child Inc. from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 21.

The Block Northway is at 8013 McKnight Road, Ross. For more information, visit www.theblocknorthway.com or call 724-759-5432.
