Friday, Nov. 27: The Great White Way will begin with a gingerbread house workshop at the Brass Tree Restaurant from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Youngsters will get to make their own gingerbread houses. A $4 fee is required for ages 6 to 12. The event is sponsored by the Williamson Railroad Museum.

Saturday, Nov. 28: En-tries for the quilt contest sponsored by the Mingo County Democratic Wom-en’s Committee can be taken to Consuming Fire Ministries across the street from the Williamson Post Office. Judging will be from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. Previous winning quilts are not eligible to enter. Prizes include $100 for best of show, $50 for the most traditional quilt, and $25 for the most unusual. Winners will be announced during the “Meet Santa” reception.

At 1 p.m., the Great White Way Bake-Off, sponsored by the city of Williamson and the AIM Group, will be held at the Living Water Church. The contest covers five categories: cookies, cakes, pies, candy and miscellaneous desserts. Prizes include $100 for first place, $50 for second, and $25 for third. Presentation is a must and the sweets will be left for the “Meet Santa” reception.
