Logistics for the tour include the following:

  • Start at the home nearest you and follow the map on the flyer.  This will prevent an overflow of guests at any one house and enable one to better enjoy the tour.
  • You will be asked to wear shoe coverings (booties) at the front door of each house and leave the booties at the back door as you leave to keep the homes as clean as possible.
  • Refreshments and Christmas decorations will be available at some of the homes.

Proceeds from the Tour of Homes will go to The Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (Future Homemakers of America) Foundation.  The money will be used to send first place state STAR Events winners from this region to national competition.  The event is sponsored jointly by FCCLA and The Montgomery Toombs Chamber of Commerce.
