The Christmas Home Tour is just around the corner. (Literally, depending on where you live in DeSoto!) As in years past, the tour will be the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and this year is sure not to disappoint with 8 homes making feverish preparations. There’s no better time to get you in the holiday spirit. Tickets are $15 if you purchase them in advance, and there are several shops around town where you can purchase them. You can also pick up 2 for $25 for those of you taking your mother, aunt, sister, girlfriend, etc. The tour is an at-your-own-pace sort of affair, but you need to plan for a couple of things.
- The official time is 9 am until 3 pm. Hosts need to have some sanity that day, so please plan on being finished with your tour by 3 pm.
- Lunch! 9-3 is a long stretch, and you’ll want to check your tour guide for coupons and specials from area restaurants. You might also put a bottle of water or two in your vehicle because there should definitely be much discussion between homes about what you just witnessed, and all that talking can make you parched.
Now, about those tickets! Tickets can be purchased at:
- Cherished Memories
- Public Library
- Drummond’s
- 1st State Community Bank
- Fountain City Grille
- Lorenzo’s
- Pogolinos De Soto
In case you’re still not convinced, you can call Debby at 586-4570 or Patrice at 586-0147 for more information. And since everyone wants to know, we’ll do a quick home preview. You’ll have to wait until next week for that though!
