Shannon Wood’s gingerbread creation (above) has been chosen as the winner of the Nelson Star/Nelson Safeway Gingerbread Photo Contest.
Wood created an elaborate village that impressed the judges.
The annual contest has increased in popularity. Entries were received from as far away as Germany (below). The Mader Family lived in Nelson in 2011 and submitted a photo of their “favorite way of camping” while in Nelson, including an F-150 pickup-camper.
