Holiday Home Tour


Just three weeks until the Niagara Life Centre Holiday Home Tour. It's hard to believe that it is almost here (and so is Christmas). The committee began it's planning last Jan and thanks to all the feedback from past surveys, we strive to make the tour better each year. I have added a couple of more pictures from last year's tour that VFD created in a century farmhome. The tour this year is again centered in the Vineland/Jordan/Port Dalhousie area. What a selection of historical and renovated homes we have on this tour. Each location has it's own uniqueness about it. St John's Church in Jordan will be decorated to reflect a Huron Carol, the historic homestead on Gregory Road dates back to the 1700's (but deaded in the 1800's), the retro revival on Jordan Rd is not to be missed. Francis Denny from Aquisitions Interiors has gutted and revived this home - to sum up this home - WOW!. Francis will also be decorating the home herself for the tour. When you visit the cottages at Nokara, do not be mistaken that you are still in Port Dalhousie. When you sit in the Muskoka chairs on the back deck and hear the waves lap up from Lake Ontario, you could just as easily be up north at the cottage. These are just teasers of what will be on the tour.


Do not forget the lunch at the Fireside room at St John's Church available both tour days 11:00-3:00 featuring Nokara Farms pies, homemade soups and Starbucks coffee.


The tour is Fri Nov 19 10:00-8:00 and Sat Nov 20 10:00-5:00.


Ticket information and tour guide are available at http://www.nlchometour.com/


We still have spots for volunteeers that can come out and help in the homes for a short shift. All volunteers receive a complimentary ticket for the tour. If interested please contact Carol @ info@viniferafloraldesign.com or Helena at helena@niagaralifecenter.ca
