Home sweet home, GV style

The popular Episcopal Church home tour is coming soon.

The 39th Annual Green Valley Tour of Homes sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of St. Francis-in-the-Valley will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Friday, March 7.

Tickets are $18 each, with tour proceeds benefiting local charities.

The six homes featured on this year’s tour are unique in style and d/cor, reflecting the remarkable talents and experiences of each of the featured homeowners.

Tour participants will be treated to stunning mountain views, abundant color, remarkable artifacts from around the world, and exquisite original artwork collected and created by the homeowners themselves.

The tour begins at the St. Francis-in-the-Valley Parish Hall, 600 S. La Canada Drive, where complimentary refreshments will be served throughout the day.

This year, the Tour of Homes is “going green.”

In an effort to save fuel and reduce congestion, shuttles will be available to escort tour participants to each of the six homes throughout the Green Valley area.

Tour participants can enjoy complimentary refreshments while they wait for their door-to-door shuttle service to begin.

Those who use the shuttle service will receive an additional raffle ticket.

The parish hall will also feature several attractions not to be missed. The gourmet table will be filled with delectable homemade desserts available for purchase.

The raffle table will offer a number of exciting prizes, including a two-night stay at the Amado Territory Inn Bed and Breakfast, tickets to the sold-out spring training game between the Chicago Cubs and White Sox, home accessories, original artwork, and more.

The Talents Unlimited Boutique in the Parish Hall will be open and filled with unique home accents, jewelry, and gifts.

Enjoy a day filled with beautiful homes, delicious food, fun shopping opportunities, and the chance to win wonderful prizes, all while supporting local charities that assist those in our community who are in need.

The Green Valley Fire Corps will be providing traffic safety and assistance at each of the home sites.
