Around this time, for the last eight years, the Creative Discovery Museum gets into the house-building business — with a little help from volunteers. Over the next five weeks, visitors will find all the tools they need to construct their own gingerbread houses.
The workshops start this weekend. They are generally held twice on Saturdays and once on Sundays. The Thanksgiving holiday weekend also means that Friday, Nov. 23, is included in the available dates.
Each workshop will accommodate 30 people, said Carrie Fitzsimmons, public relations coordinator. Workers are limited to three people per house. Advance registration is required.
