Make sure to drop your letter to Santa in his special mail box located at 674 Webster Street. Do the whole Tour in one night or download the different maps and split up the Holiday experience.

Invite your friends and neighbors to take the Tour. VOTE for your favorite homes and neighborhood by clicking the button below. Voting closes on Sunday, December 27, 2020 at midnight. The Holiday House Tour 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and overall Neighborhood winners will be based on number of votes and will be announced Monday, December 28, 2020!

Safety Note:  Please be very cautious about the traffic around you when slowing down to look at the decorations. Use your signal lights and flashers if you pull over to the side of the road. Be sure to check carefully before pulling back out into traffic. Better yet, get your steps in and enjoy the decorations on a walking tour!
