Barn-Raising at Library
Kick-off the holiday festivities and unleash your creative side with a
new twist to the traditional gingerbread house on Thursday November
29th at 6:00 p.m. at the Greenville Public Library. We’ll supply
the fixins; you bring the family. This event is free but the
ginger-bread kits are limited. Please call 548-3915 to save your
spot!
The first known recipe for gingerbread came from Greece in 2400 BC.
Chinese recipes were developed during the 10th century and by the late
Middle Ages, Europeans had their own version of gingerbread.
Gingerbread houses, themselves, originated in Germany during the 16th
century. The elaborate cookie-walled houses, decorated with foil in
addition to gold leaf, became associated with Christmas tradition.
