Don’t forget that the GHD Christmas Home Tour is Saturday, November 30th. There are 9 properties on the tour this year, and the event goes from 9 AM until 3:30 PM. The six lovely homes are diverse and there is sure to be something to dazzle anyone who attends. In addition to the homes, First United Methodist Church, the DeSoto Community Center, and the Villa’s will also be on display.

Advanced tickets are $15. If you wait until the 30th, they’ll be $18. Tickets are available at Cherished Memories, City Hall, the Library, Drummonds, First State Community Bank, Heartland Realty, Lorenzo’s & Pogolinos.  You can also pick them up from any Home Tour Committee Member that you may know.

We’ll see you out and about that day!

 

The date for this year’s Home Tour is Saturday, November 30, 2013. Jot it down! Tell your friends! More information will be provided as it becomes available.

Please help spread the word about the 3rd Annual Christmas Home Tour. The tour will be held Saturday, November 24th from 9AM until 3:30 PM. I’ll be visiting the tour along with a friend and some family from out of town. I hope that you will join us.

The houses on the tour this year are great. We try to pick locations that are surrounded with history, suspense, and novelty. Some of the sites this year include FoJo Studio on Main Street, the historic Grace Lutheran Church, a Habitat for Humanity home, a Century Farm, and, if this doesn’t get you there, a home on Silk Stocking Hill. (Straight from a Perry Como album to be sure!)

There are 8 locations on the tour this year, and they run the gamut from contemporary to traditional, business to residential. You are sure to find some great decorating ideas for the holiday and discover some of the history and charm of De Soto.

Tickets are $15 in advance and are available at the De Soto Public Library, First State Community Bank, Drummond’s Florist, Cherished Memories, Fo Jo Studio, Pogolinos Pizza, Lorenzo’s Italian Kitchen, Mona Lisa Salon and St. Andrew’s UMC. If you’d like to pick up a ticket the day of the tour, you can purchase a ticket for $18 at FoJo Studio (116 N Main St).

Please share this post with others that you see, through your Facebook page, and via other methods. We appreciate your help in making this our best Christmas Home Tour yet.
