| The Victorian gingerbread home created by Suzanne Karpus, owner of Cornucopia in Bexley, was a first-place winner in the Franklin Park Conservatory’s confectionary contest, and Alice Dreischarf, of Alice’s Piece of Cake in Powell, earned a second-place ribbon for her rendition of the Santa Maria. These and more than 30 other entries are on display, along with poinsettias and Currier and Ives prints that will enliven a season of holiday happenings. |
