Second Annual Christmas House Tour Successful!

100 people toured 8 beautifully decorated homes. Wiley Allen served as our able bus driver again this year and thanks go out to Mr Larry Massie, Supt of Schools, who allowed a school bus to be used for this community event. Plans are to tour the area north of Dillwyn next year, so suggestions of homes are welcome.

See the feature article in the January issue of the Buckingham Beacon.
