For those who have been waiting, we have a Winner in our Route 66 100th Anniversary Gingerbread Contest.

** Susan Rogers with My Heart's in Dixie on Rt. 66 **

Susan, a former Waynesville native, who now calls O'Fallon, IL home WOWWED the judges with her gingerbread structure representing the Original Dixie Truckers Stop in McLean.

The intricate detail - there are treads on the tires! - was absolutely mindboggling!

The picture below just doesn't do it justice - you have to see it to believe it.

As for the other winners - - we can't decide, so we are leaving it up to the public to declare a winner.

Every person who comes to the Museum will receive a ticket to place in the bucket next to the gingerbread structure you think is the best. At the end of the display period (July 31), the bucket with the most tickets will be our 2nd place winner and our 3rd place winner.

So, help us out! Select the winners!!

And for those asking why so few entries -- we'll talk about that soon..... there was a very good reason for it, and you won't be surprised when you hear it.

Videos coming soon - as soon as I can figure out how to get them from my phone to the laptop.... any techie help would be appreciated! Thanks!!!
