The First Annual Holiday House Tour

was an outstanding success! Over 100 people toured the 9 beautifully decorated homes. The weather was nice, the home-owners were gracious and over $1700 was raised. Thanks to Wiley Allen, our able bus driver, 24 people were able to tour in style. Appreciation also goes out to Mr Larry Massie, Supt of Schools, who allowed a school bus to be used for this community event. The Chamber has received many compliments from people who are already looking forward to the 2006 tour.
