Holiday home tours this month include Loomis event
Fans of beautiful Christmas decorations still have time to revel in a home tour. The Loomis Holiday Home Tour is scheduled Saturday, Dec. 14, and of course Sacramento’s Sacred Heart Holiday Home Tour starts Friday, Dec. 6 and runs through Sunday, Dec. 8. (See Debbie’s post on this tour here.)
These are self-guided tours of beautifully decorated homes. The Loomis tour tickets must be purchased in advance; ticket prices increase Sunday, Dec. 8, and no tickets will be sold at the homes’ doors.
Anyone who moved quickly to get tickets will be attending a third area tour, the Dickens in the Valley Holiday Home Tour in Woodland, presented by Friends of Meals on Wheels, also this Saturday, Dec. 7. That tour sold out at midday Thursday as this blog post was being prepared.
The 15th Annual Loomis Holiday Home Tour features six decorated Loomis-area homes, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The tour benefits the Loomis Basin Education Foundation, which supports programs in all seven Loomis schools. Tickets are $45 until Dec. 8, when the price goes up.
The event includes a holiday boutique (open until 3 p.m.) at the H. Clarke Powers School gym, catered lunch ($28), an art contest and, at 12:15 p.m., performances by Loomis student choirs and band as well as community dance groups.
A special private evening tour and VIP reception, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., is also offered as part of the Loomis event. It includes complimentary food and beverages; tickets are $85, also available online.
Anyone who buys tour tickets online should check in first at the school gym, 3296 Humphrey Road in Loomis, to get a wristband, map and brochure for the tour. Tickets can be picked up starting at 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 14. Entry into the first home is at 9 a.m.
