No cookie is quite connected to the holidays like gingerbread. Gingerbread houses originated in Germany during the 16th century and quickly became associated with Christmas. This year, the Uintah County Library is embracing the gingerbread/Christmas connection with multiple events. The 5th Annual Gingerbread Date Night will be held December 2nd. Due to popularity, this event has already reached its limit though couples are encouraged to check back regularly in case spots open up. Perhaps an even bigger shout out to gingerbread is coming in the form of housing the epic Moon Family Gingerbread Display. For many years the Moon family have created a massive gingerbread display for the Roosevelt Branch Library but this year that display will be in Vernal due to the construction on the new Roosevelt Library. This year’s Dinosaur theme is sure to provide a very unique holiday experience for the whole family. The display will be up throughout the month of December which leads us to the final gingerbread event at the Uintah County Library. The public is invited to come enjoy a panel with the gingerbread masters themselves, the Moon family, on December 16th at 4pm. All are invited to come learn what their gingerbread operation takes each year.
