Tour day is here! (Look below for an Internet special deal!)

April 24, 2010

There’s lots to see and do in Washington Park today—eight beautiful houses, a historic church, an amazing garden/wildlife habitat. Take in the sights on a horse-drawn carriage ride through the neighborhood, and enjoy refreshments at two homes. In addition, you can learn about how a home-energy audit can help owners of old homes improve their home’s energy efficiency on a budget, and see the beautiful wreaths that neighbors have made to add a touch of beauty and whimsy to Washington Park’s streets.

Oh, and Mother Nature has cooperated, too—azaleas are at their peak, and roses are beginning to spread their perfume. Now if the sun would just show up!

Didn’t get a ticket at the advance sale price? When you buy your ticket today, say, “Wash Park Rocks!” and you’ll get the advance ticket price of $15. That’s $5 off the day-of price. It’s a way for us to track how people are using our sites on WordPress and Facebook. Enjoy the tour!
