It’s not quite the most wonderful time of year, but there are a few signs the holidays aren’t far away.
Green and red decorations are populating the aisles of big-box store. Christmas albums are on the shelves. And the Lake Highlands Women’s League has started selling Holiday in the Highlands tickets.
The home tour — slated Friday, Dec. 7, from 9:30 a.m.-8 p.m. — is celebrating its 40th anniversary. There have been a few tweaks since its inception in 1978.
LHWL presidents are no longer required to feature their home, and evening hours are now included, thanks to Icemageddon 2013.
Here are the homes featured in this year’s tour:
- 1960s ranch at 10032 Ferndale Road
- One-story traditional at 9214 Middle Glen Drive
- Mid-century modern at 10845 Eden Roc Drive
- Two-story modern farmhouse at 9161 Vintage Oaks Court
Tickets are available for purchase from LHWL members now. They’ll be available online starting Thursday, Nov. 1, as well. Proceeds go toward scholarships and community projects.
