Tour of Homes Giveaways from Local Businesses

by Robin Ragland

Do you follow the Tour of Homes on Facebook?  Many people have discovered a wonderful facet of the Tour that’s been growing in popularity since its inception last year–giveaways from many of our sponsors.

Free tickets for the tour as well as a number of gift certificates for local businesses will be given away via the Tour’s Facebook page up until the weekend of the tour.  For example, win tickets or a gift certificate from Fit: To Be and Bla Bla Kids within the next couple of weeks.

Other giveaways include gift certificates to restaurants such as Murphy’s, Marlow’s Tavern, Highland Tap, Fontaine’s, and Diesel Filling Station.  Don’t miss out on a chance to win certificates to local businesses such as 310 Rosemont, Dakota J’s, The Great Frame-Up, and more! Here’s a link to the entire giveaway schedule–the sooner you starting following along, the more chances you have to win!

Virginia-Highland History Tour

Remember we’ve added a docent-led historical tour of the neighborhood to this year’s tour. The authors of Images of America: Virginia-Highland have planned this special tour.  Virginia-Highland is on the National Register of Historic Places and filled with great architecture and stories. Don’t miss this special opportunity to learn about its development and those who made it such a treasure. Advance ticket purchase required to sign up for the tour.

Oh – and look who’s flocking to the neighborhood for the Tour of Homes! You may see some of these flocks in various gardens around the neighborhood! Hopefully you’ll enjoy our bit of whimsy as we remind everyone it’s tour time.

Please visit our special Tour of Homes website for more detailed information on the times, the homes, the sponsors and the restaurants. Click here for information on purchasing a ticket.
