The Lake Oswego Junior Women's Club is proud to announce it's 13th Annual Holiday Home Tour, to be held on Wednesday, December 6th, 2006 from 11:00 am until 8:00pm. The annual fund-raising event will feature four homes exquisitely decorated for the holidays, with all proceeds benefiting women's and children's agencies throughout the greater Portland area.
This year's tour includes four beautifully decorated homes that vary in style and design: a river-front masterpiece bordered by its own vineyard and completed in 2006; a mid-centry eclectic ranch, remodeled for 21st century family living; a 2005 "old world" classic situated amid the woods of central Lake Oswego; and a cottage home nestled on Oswego Lake. The homeowners, along with local florists, combine their design expertise to create a magnificent feeling of holiday warmth and joy to share for the special day. Just a few of the musicians who provide live entertainment throughout the day include Michael Allen Harrison & Soli Deo Gloria; and John English "The Voice".
