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.
