The Food Network has announced that it will be airing shows on the Grove Park Inn's National Gingerbread House Competition. The excitement, the glory, the royal icing, but most importantly, the gingerbread is what makes the annual National Gingerbread House Competition at The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa so great. Since its inception in 1993, this event has blossomed into arguably the premier gingerbread competition in the country. Last year, more than 250 people entered the competition from 16 states, all with a chance at winning the coveted grand prize. But most importantly, the event gives families a chance to have fun and share in a growing, annual holiday tradition. The spirit of the National Gingerbread House Competition has been captured for the nation to witness, as The Food Network will air its �Gingerbread Challenge� special throughout the holidays. The show was taped during the 2002 National Gingerbread House Competition at The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa. The debut show was aired on The Food Network November 30. The show will re-air several times through Christmas Day. The air schedule is as follows:
The Grove Park Inn was built in 1913 overlooking Asheville's skyline and the Blue Ridge mountains. Architecturally unique, the historic Main Inn is constructed of native granite boulders quarried from nearby mountainsides. On the National Register of Historic Places and a member of Historic Hotels of America, the Inn houses the world's largest collection of Arts & Crafts antiques under its red-tiled roof. Amenities at the 510-room resort include a world-class, 40,000 square foot spa, private Club Floor, century-old, Donald Ross-designed golf course, tennis, swimming, Sports Complex, shops, fine dining and children's programs.
