After a 3 year Covid19 interruption, the Rotary Holiday House Tour was presented to Rotarians, and the holiday host/hostess home owners. Rotarian Hadley Jackson, Chair of the 2023 Rotary Holiday House Tour Committee announced that this year's 17th Tour will focus on Normandale and Port Ryerse in Norfolk County.
A collection of early Canadian buildings has been assembled which contrast with one dwelling of recent construction. Six homes are located in the Normandale and Port Ryerse areas of beautiful Norfolk County, Ontario's Garden. There are also two designated rest stops at a historic Port Ryerse Memorial Church and the Normandale Century Inn.
All homes will be decorated for the holiday season with the owners laying out the welcome mat for your viewing pleasure.
Tickets have go on sale beginning October 16, 2923 at fourteen retail outlets in Haldimand and Norfolk Counties. Individual Simcoe Rotarians will also be selling the tickets. For the first time, the Rotary Club is selling tickets online. The Club will utilize the Internet, and social media to promote and market the Holiday House Tour. For those that turn in their ticket on December 2 0r 3, 2023, there is a chance to win a door prize from The Dover Cheese Shop and Long Point Eco-Adventures.
Rotarian Jackson thanked the home owners and this year's sponsors.
