The "2019 RLPS Gingerbread Display" Story

The RLPS-OPOLY Gingerbread display.

It was an ordinary day.  Making a visit to the Reese, Lower, Patrick & Scott Architects office in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to view the annual Gingerbread house exhibit they have been creating for the past 24 years.  The theme for this year's show was RLPS-OPOLY and their large assembly room looked like a huge Monopoly board with gingerbread displays covering the majority of the spaces around the board.  The employees of the architectural firm all produce something for the display which must have items on display that are editable.  Judges view the display when it has been completed and pick the best gingerbread exhibit.   The gingerbread display that was judged the best this year was "St. James Place" that had a dollar price on the original Monopoly board of $180.  The gingerbread church was great with a bride and groom standing in front of the church and a car with a "Just Married" sign on it.  A whole lot of sugar involved in making this treat.  I have included a few of my favorites so you could see the quality of workmanship that is done every year by the employees of RLPS. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
