Noon today is the deadline to vote for your favorite in the SoGo Gingerbread House contest.

People’s Choice and Fan Favorite voting so far has raised more than $800 in ticket sales. All proceeds benefit the Health and Hope Clinic, a not-for-profit organization that provides health care services to the uninsured in our community.

“We have had such an incredible turnout for the fan favorite voting,” says project manager, Daniel Pennington. “It will take at least a day just to count out all the tickets.”

Tickets, being sold at 25 cents a piece, means there are over 3,200 votes out there among the 45 gingerbread houses. With that many votes, it’s anybody’s guess who will be the People’s Choice and Fan Favorite winners. The two winners will receive prizes of $500 and $1,000.

The idea for the SOGO Gingerbread House Contest came about after contest sponsors, Quint and Rishy Studer, visited the 2013 National Gingerbread House Competition while traveling in Asheville, N.C.

Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony Wednesday, Dec. 17.
