Guests will be warmly greeted with a glass of champagne or cider at the depot — the CROW Center for the Performing Arts, 3120 Highway 101 — then break the seal on a passport to learn their des- tinations for the tour. Boarding vans and buses, guests will be whisked away to four unique local homes, magically dec- orated for the season. “Where else can you enjoy such a magical evening or afternoon for this price?” asked Holiday Tour of Homes co-chair Jennifer Waggoner. “These four homeowners have been working tireless- ly for weeks to prepare their homes for your visit.” There will be savory and delicious treats and entertainment at each home, all part of the ticket cost. Tickets are going fast for this special holiday experience, so go today to www. crowkids.com/holiday-home-tour to buy tickets for $50 per person. Thanks to generous donations from local business- es, parts of the event are sponsored so all proceeds can to benefit CROW (Chil- dren’s Repertory of Oregon Workshops), the local children’s community theater. “For years, the CROW staff, led by Melanie Heard, have spent the majority of their time, energy and talent raising money so that our local kids could be trained to perform in absolutely amazing productions in our town,” said tour co- chair Kay King. “That is why we felt it was crucial to create ways to help raise money for this fabulous theater, so Mel- anie and crew could spend their time teaching and producing quality theater for us — and more importantly for our kids.” King and Waggoner decided to create the Christmas Tour of Homes in Flor- ence as another way to raise money for CROW. “Countless donations have made the event possible,” Waggoner said. “The de- sign and printing of programs and tick- ets, planning how to sell the tickets to make it convenient for the purchaser, lin- ing up transportation, preparing the tour route, preparation of entertainment and refreshments for each home are all part of it. Not to mention the hours and vol- unteers who have helped decorate these fabulous homes for your enjoyment.” $4.95, $1.00 MORE .
