Sold out sign posted at The Tucker House early Saturday of Candlelight Tour weekend.
Thank you to all who attended the 48th Annual Historic Oakwood Candlelight Tour®. 2019 was another sell out year with an amazing mix of properties. Your attendance helps assure the continued work of the SPHO.
The Oakwood Awesomettes entertaining at The Murphey School Apartments
The SPHO cannot make the tour happen without the army of 500 volunteers that greet guests, act as docents inside the homes, check-in ticket holders, clean up the neighborhood, provide classic cars for viewing, market the event and organize everyone. Thank you all.
Unloading gift baskets from the truck.
This year the SPHO, as part of its Community Service Project, also threw a small holiday party for the residents of the Murphey School Apartments (senior living) and provided them with holiday gift baskets. Many tour-goers provided small donations that were added up to be bountiful baskets of non-perishables for the residents as well as some needed items for their common areas. Thank you for your support.
