Trip and Jenny Radcliffe, who were part of the holiday home tour in 2009, will again open their doors to share Christmas spirit on Dec. 3.
After a decade-long hiatus, two Fayette County nonprofits are bringing back a popular holiday home tour.
Formerly known as Homes for the Holidays, the tour has been renamed the Season无毛视频檚 Greetings Holiday Tour. On Saturday, Dec. 3 from noon to 5 p.m., guests will travel to three beautifully decorated Uniontown-area homes and two businesses for an early foray into the holiday spirit.
Proceeds will benefit Crime Victims Center of Fayette County, which formerly organized the event, and Ryan无毛视频檚 Tribute, an organization that provides comfort boxes to families who have lost a child.
Ryan无毛视频檚 Tribute founder Beth Hanzes, along with family and friends, was one of the many who took part in past tours.
无毛视频淲e always looked forward to it 无毛视频� seeing the different homes and the decorations around the holiday,无毛视频� Hanzes said.
Hanzes decided to approach the CVC about their organizations teaming up to bring the tour back as a joint fundraiser for both organizations.
无毛视频淚 pitched the idea to their board and my board, and they loved it,无毛视频� Hanzes said. 无毛视频淚 started asking people if they无毛视频檙e interested in showcasing their homes or businesses.无毛视频�
The tour will consist of three homes, including returning participants Trip and Jenny Radcliffe, who showcased their home on Brownfield Road in 2009.
New to the tour this year are the homes of Alan and Marcia (Ross) Barnhart on Holly Lane and Keithette Quarrick on Rankin Airshaft Road.
Quarrick said her home includes hand-built stone patios, and an outdoor stone kitchen and fireplace.
无毛视频淭he mantel on the great room fireplace is our balcony to the bedrooms,无毛视频� she said. 无毛视频淚n 2015, we ripped out the bathroom and kitchen, built a new addition bathroom and doubled the size of our kitchen which included a built-in wood fired pizza oven.无毛视频�
The Barnhart无毛视频檚 home is 无毛视频渢ucked by behind Morgantown Road,无毛视频� Marcia said.
无毛视频淭he stone front home has a detached garage and wrap around porch. Most passers-by are enamored with the wrap around porch. The window at the top of the staircase has a spectacular view of the Jumonville Cross. French doors in the spacious living room open to the private backyard and built in pool,无毛视频� she said. 无毛视频淥ur 1903 sleigh on the front porch will surely create a festive and nostalgic feeling.无毛视频�
无毛视频淭hese homeowners spend a lot of time decorating their homes, so we want people to spend time looking at all the beautiful ornate decorations they have and talk to homeowners,无毛视频� CVC Executive Director Andrea Hibbs said.
The participating businesses are Neubauer无毛视频檚 Flower and Market in Uniontown and the Barn at Fernstone in Farmington. At Neubauer无毛视频檚 guests of the tour will have a chance to win prizes, and at Fernstone, they will be treated to a bonfire, refreshments, raffle items and more.
Hibbs said the raffle items include gift cards, artwork, gift baskets and other prizes along with a 50/50 drawing. She added that they无毛视频檒l livestream the raffle prizes so even if a ticket holder doesn无毛视频檛 attend the tour or go to the barn, they can still see if they won and pick up their prize at the CVC office.
While it无毛视频檚 too late to add any more homeowners to this year无毛视频檚 tour, Hibbs said, she welcomes those who are interested to get in touch with the CVC about being included next year as organizers will gear up for it around August.
