Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Director Pamela O’Loughlin likes getting crafty, even in the off season. So when an opportunity arises to create a new work of art, she jumps at the chance. Most recently, it included an unexpected medium – food.
With the help of her son, Aaron, Pam got to work last week using rice krispie treats, pretzels, ice cream cones, crushed cookies, gum drops and countless pieces of delicious candy. The final product? A miniature (and edible) version of the playground at Wickliffe Elementary, Aaron’s school.

The mouthwatering masterpiece was one of 22 outstanding entries in the Upper Arlington Gingerbread Building Competition judged during the library’s Holiday Happiness event on Saturday, Dec. 1. The creation, entitled The Big Toy, took home first place in the “other” category.
Entries were judged by Ben Gelber, meteorologist at NBC4, Steven Sims from Steven's Catering, and Tim and Glenda Huffman from Huffman's Market. Entries were scored on a scale of 1-10 on originality/creativity; difficulty; precision; and overall appearance.
