Many may not know this fact, but a holiday festivity is occuring in Alexander City this year that traces back to the time of Queen Elizabeth I.

That tradition is the love of gingerbread. According to Adelia M. Russell Library director Amy Huff, Alexander City’s librarians will host a gingerbread house contest beginning Monday, Dec. 5, to celebrate the holiday season.
