On November 30th, Get Healthy DeSoto hosted the 4th annual Christmas Home Tour. Thanks to the hard work from committee members, homeowners, volunteers and generous sponsors, we had a most successful day. We were blessed with beautiful weather, an excellent variety of properties, volunteers of good cheer, gracious home owners and a steady stream of visitors throughout the day.
This year we sold 89 sponsor ads, 147 Tour Ticket Books and $408.00 worth of raffle tickets giving us a grand total of $5,539.70. This was a wonderful showing by the community and deserves a rousing “Thank you”!
