2007 Home Tours & Holiday Mixer held on Sunday, December 2nd

Despite the dire winter forecast, over 70 area residents boarded school buses for the third annual Chamber Home Tours on Sunday, December 2nd. They were not disappointed as these five homes and businesses were dressed up in their holiday best. The afternoon was topped-off by a delicious buffet at the St. Marys Country Club with Christmas music supplied by Dan Hawkins. All-in-all, a great way to spend an otherwise dreary Sunday afternoon.
