We can’t wait to celebrate together while raising money for our neighborhood’s future projects in tandem with enjoying our neighbor’s keen sense of preservation, green infrastructure & overall stewardship. We truly appreciate everyone coming together and making this year’s tour happen. Whether you’re a ticket holder, a volunteer, a part of the planning committee or featuring your home on the tour, YOU ALL made this happen together. And YES – You can still buy tickets online, OR in person using credit card, cash or check.
Cheers to all,
Jessica Radford
