These are maps from years past…I'll be drawing this year's map as soon as I discover all the new houses in the neighborhood!

Here's a photo of a house on last year's tour. The tour is open to ages 6 and up, but you must be able to walk a fair distance (about a mile in all). Children under six are free with an accompanying (paying) adult.
I hope you can join us for this very special and magical event. If we're lucky, we may even see a Fairy or two!
