Unlike most successful blues-rock guitarists, Bonamassa has cited his influences as being British and Irish blues music, rather than American. Bonamassa’s solo début, in 2000, was his Top 10 Blues disc A New Day Yesterday, named after the 1969 Jethro Tull classic. Now this famous guitarist is coming to Jacksonville for a performance at the Florida Theatre on December 3, 2010.

The Holiday Festival of Lights Gingerbread House Competition is a beloved Lowcountry tradition and now it’s time to warm up your ovens, gather up sugar, spices, and add a spoonful of creativity to the mix to participate. Registration for the 12th Annual Holiday Festival of Lights Gingerbread House Competition is open now through November 5.
[picappgallerysingle id=”5100727″]Here are the basic rules;
Houses must be made entirely of edible materials (except the base), and cannot exceed 18†in width, length or height. Entries will be judged based on creativity, overall appearance, difficulty, and craftsmanship.
Houses can be entered in one of four different age categories – ages 6 and under, ages 7-11, ages 12-16 or ages 17 and up. The contest will be judged by a panel of 20 people, with each house judged individually in each category.
The top three entries in each category will be displayed in Santa’s Sweet Shoppe and other locations during the Holiday Festival of Lights.
Contest coordinator Marianne Bower encourages creative bakers of all ages and experience levels to participate in this fun event. She suggests the use of gingerbread house patterns to help with construction of your ginger bread house masterpiece, but not to use “all-in-one†kits.
“There are many websites out there that provide inspiration for unique and amazing creations,†said Bower. Entries must be actual “domiciles;†however, Bower says that she has seen a number of unusual gingerbread houses, including churches, trains, and once, even the Millennium Falcon from “Star Warsâ€.
Registration ends Friday, November 5. An award ceremony for the top winners will take place at the Park Center at James Island County Park as part of the opening of the annual Holiday Festival of Lights on November 12. The award ceremony will take place at 6:30 p.m.
