Tour chairperson Donna Lipscomb is coordinating the tour for her second year. She likens organizing the tour to <planning an extensive campaign.= After getting people to agree to open their homes/ gardens to over 500 people, a schematic is produced for each location to enable planning the placements for check-in tables, water sta- tions, parking, special dis- plays, and posting of garden club members who act as hosts at each site. Each location has its own unique qualities that provide the backdrop for specially themed quilts, garden art, and this year a particular book by Mark Barringer & Bob Baker Playing in the Lounge at Chops Bistro an Oregon author. The actual tour takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Thursday of Quilt Show Week, but preparation begins months in advance. It takes an army of volunteers to stage the tour, with captains for each area 3 quilts, parking, vans, special exhibits, tick- ets, marketing 3 everything it takes to stage the tour. The week of the tour includes the delivery of tables and tubs full of supplies to each tour location on Tuesday or Wednesday.
